Simulation and analysis of geostationary orbit using GMAT

Required calculations like delta-V budget, orbital elements and perturbations had been done for designing a geostationary orbit for a communication satellite in previous parts of my paper. Now designing, simulating and analysing GEO will be done here. To attain the orbit we need to set a differential corrector, create a required mission sequence to build impulsive burns which plays an important role to obtain a hohmann transfer. Then the three dimensionalorbital views, ground station, eclipse locator and contact locator are made. Report, ephemeris and XY plots are obtained to find out the exact position of the satellite from the different views from space and it can also show the values from the launching epoch till the mission life ends. All these works are completed and explained in a detailed manner with the help of GMAT software and a little introduction about this software is also described below. Various outputs like report and ephemeris file, eclipse and contact locator, simulation of GEO orbit, ground track plot and graphs had been obtained and explained in a cleared manner.
