Popis: The goal of spaceport design is to develop a system capable of launching all missions in a projected capture market on time, at minimum cost, and with maximum safety to ground and flight personnel and hardware. Therefore, the four key performance parameters for a spaceport are launch rate, schedule dependability, cost, and safety. Simulation technologies may be applied to the design process to accurately and cost effectively evaluate these parameters and the factors that affect them. Simulation is vital to spaceport system design and optimization.
