GRODY developed alongside GROSS computer program (GSC-13147), a FORTRAN dynamics-simulator program performing same functions. GRODY conceived for use in case study to assess feasibility and effectiveness of Ada programming language for development of flight-dynamics software. Designed for those familiar with analysis of attitudes of spacecraft. Supports planning of maneuvers as well as analytical testing and evaluation of attitude-determination and -control system used on board Gamma-Ray Observatory (GRO) satellite. Simulates computer and control processor electronics aboard GRO satellite. Enables analyst to check and update commands sent from ground and values of parameters, obtain displays of status of simulation, interrupt simulation, analyze previous runs, and obtain printed output of simulation runs. Written mainly in Ada (99 percent) with remainder in FORTRAN.
