Simulations

Build Readiness
Through Simulation.

RedMars simulations provide a flexible scenario framework where instructors can shape practice around the competencies, roles, systems, and operational situations they need to develop. Learners can practice and demonstrate decisions, procedures, telemetry interpretation, communications, workload management, and anomaly response inside scenarios built for the training objective.

Practice Environments

Scenario practice for many spaceflight roles.

RedMars uses realistic simulation rather than claims of real spacecraft operations. The framework is designed to support instructor-built scenarios across systems, operations, medical, team, and anomaly-response contexts so practice can match the pathway, role, or organization developing it.

MCC-RedMars

Develop and demonstrate mission operations competency through role-based practice.

Use realistic, operationally inspired consoles to monitor spacecraft systems, interpret telemetry, follow procedures, communicate, investigate anomalies, prioritize work, and make mission decisions. These scenarios can support STAR simulation and operational-scenario evidence for competencies relevant to Flight Controller readiness and other mission operations roles. The interfaces are representative training environments and are not copies of proprietary flight-control software.

Systems Simulation

Build, operate, and troubleshoot connected spacecraft systems.

Create spacecraft models, connect components and subsystems, inspect live state, experiment with configurations, and observe how system behavior changes under nominal and off-nominal conditions. These exercises help learners develop systems thinking and can support applied and practical evidence for systems reasoning.

Systems Simulation

Model, inspect, and reason.

Systems Simulation supports visual engineering practice, subsystem behavior, state inspection, and scenario experimentation for building and demonstrating systems reasoning.

Mission Operations

Practice console discipline.
