Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI), the producer of commercial off-the-shelf software for analysis of space, defense, and intelligence assets, and Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL), a nonprofit research corporation focused on defense and science objectives, have announced their new business partnership.

SDL will bring its expertise in electro-optical sensor modeling, based on decades of experience developing and deploying sensors, to AGI’s Satellite Tool Kit (STK) software suite. The new sensor modeling capability will enable STK users to model ultraviolet, visible, and infrared sensors for observing space objects from ground, air, and space platforms. The capability will be available as an analysis module for STK, and is scheduled for release in late 2009.
