This report shall serve as a guideline for the understanding of the often complex relationships between the requirements and the design parameters of a stereo camera for planetary remote sensing such as the HRSC (High Resolution Stereo Camera) which has been proposed for the Mars 94 mission. Many questions arising during design, fabrication and operations can only be answered by calculations and numerical simulations. Therefore, an attempt was made to establish a modular software package of model calculations which yield all their results as easily understandable plots. The model calculations include astronomical parameters, orbit data, viewing geometry, radiometry, contrast assessments, camera operations as well as image analysis aspects.
