OSim - The OM Simulator

OSim is a partly independent simulator, because the OM has its own telescope. The commonality with the other subunits of SciSim is only in the relative alignment of the different telescopes with respect to each other on the spacecraft.

OSim contains the optical/UV ray tracer and it simulates the behaviour of the detector itself. The following features are currently supported:

Additional features are planned for the next release of OSim.
