abstract = "Nowadays, it is practically impossible to develop a complex
project without the assistance of a comprehensive set of modeling
and simulation tools. In space engineering, they are used
throughout the product design cycle, from component up to the
system level. In conceptual, pre-phase A studies of a space
mission, these tools are essential to explore more broadly the
design space, in the search for suitable candidate system
solutions for the mission. They are also of prime importance in
helping to reduce the design time in integrated concurrent design
environments. Here, a multidisciplinary tool for concept of
operation simulation, developed to be used in that kind of
environments, is presented. FOrPlan has the main purpose of
performing functional simulations of the satellite and associated
ground segments, providing a dynamic verification of the mission
designed operational concept. Through the use of suitable
graphical interfaces, key parameters of the mission functional
scenarios can be presented to the design team and other mission
stakeholders, allowing them also a better understanding of the
mission operational concept. The simulator presents high
flexibility such that it can be quickly customized to different
mission scenarios. It has been used successfully at the Space
Missions Integrated Design Center (CPRIME) of the Brazilian
National Institute for Space Research. In this article, the
structure of FOrPlan is presented, and its main features
highlighted through results of concept of operation simulations
performed for a scientific space mission study that was carried
out recently at CPRIME.",
