Lab 1 ASEN 6008: Interplanetary Mission Design Lab Spring, 2015 Purpose This lab is designed to familiarize you with STK. In this lab, you will create satellites, planets, and facilities. You will define their basic and graphic properties. You will learn to use STK’s access feature to determine how much time one object can be seen by another object. Finally, you will learn how to create reports, graphs, and dynamic displays using STK. This lab has been designed to be very similar to STK’s basic tutorial. Creating a Scenario At the Welcome to STK! window, click on Create a New Scenario. Alternative, if you close the Welcome window, you may create a file by going to Flie ( New. Under the New Scenario Wizard, name the scenario “Intro1.” Change the Location of the folder to have the name Intro1. Note: In STK, is it VERY helpful to only have ONE scenario saved in a single folder. It is also helpful to save the scenario in a folder with the same name as the scenario (i.e. C:\Documents\username\STK\Intro1). This will prevent overwriting issues. Click Ok. Close the “Insert STK Objects” window that pops up. Open the Properties Browser: Double Click or Right click on the scenario and go to Properties, or click on the Properties button .
