BRITE Orbits - Visiblity and Feature Plots

Abstract

The goal of this investigation was the development of analysis tools in form of a software bundle to investigate the opportunities of feasibility during the BRITE mission, before the mission itself takes place. The simulation software and analysis tools will help to make critical mission decisions on the one hand, and on the other hand will help the observer to plan their observing strategies, thus to answer two fundamental questions: 1) Which orbit should be chosen for BRITE? 2) Which stars may be observed during mission time best, depending on the scientific purpose?
