The Flight Dynamics Markup Language

orbitml™ is an eXtensible Markup Language application for the representation of information objects in the spacecraft Flight Dynamics problem domain.orbitml™encompasses all the range of space missions (scientific, telecommunications, earth observation, navigation, ...) and phases (LEOP, commissioning, routine, end of life, ...).

By providing a standard definition of the involved concepts, their structure, relationships and interfaces based on an extensively used and well known underlying technology (XML),orbitml™ allows easy interaction between different operators and agencies in the space field.

The initial implementation aims to the operations support of a variety of satellite missions while allowing the extension of its coverage to incorporate new requirements for navigation missions, constellations, interplanetary scenarios and beyond.

orbitml is a member of the focusSuite family
