Aerocapture Mission Analysis Tool (AMAT)
========================================

.. image:: _images/AMAT_logo_cropped.png

AMAT_ idesigned to provide rapid mission analysis capability for aerocapture and atmospheric Entry, Descent, and
Landing (EDL) mission concepts to the planetary science community.

AMAT allows the user to simulate atmospheric entry trajectories, compute deceleration
and heating loads, compute aerocapture entry corridors and simulate aerocapture
trajectories. AMAT supports analysis for all atmosphere-bearing destinations
in the Solar System: Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Titan, Uranus, and Neptune.
AMAT allows the calculation of launch performance for a set of launch vehicles.
AMAT allows the calculation of V-inf vector from a Lambert arc for an interplanetary
transfer. AMAT allows calculation of planetary approach trajectories for orbiters and entry
systems from a given V_inf vector, B-plane targeting, and deflection maneuvers.
AMAT allows the calculation of visibility of landers to Earth and relay orbiters
and compute telecom link budgets.
