A tiered multi-payload simulation system manages a series of simulations before deploying multiple entity-specific payloads on a single spacecraft. Each entity-specific payload can be validated by at least two different simulations before being deployed on the spacecraft. A first simulation applied to a payload may be an abstracted version of a second simulation applied to the payload. Entities with different operation objectives request different resources, specific contexts to use a given resource (e.g., time, orientation of the spacecraft, terrestrial events, etc.). Entities may iteratively simulate their payload using the abstracted version before providing the payload to a spacecraft operator for simulation using the second, high-fidelity simulation. The spacecraft operator may apply a resource optimization simulation to determine an operating scheme for executing multiple payloads on a single spacecraft.
