The NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) was requested to provide significant enhancements to the Flight Analysis and Simulation Tool (FAST), a generic, variable-degree-of-freedom, multi-body ascent, aerocapture, entry, descent, and landing (A2EDL) flight simulation code and a key Agency analysis tool. This report details the upgrades to FAST that were completed, describes a change to the assessment’s scope that allowed its goals to be exceeded with a new and innovative approach, and discusses the results of the modified approach.
