Perform a trade-off analysis to identify the possible paradigms for future infrastructure, and explore architectural and technological solutions, which will form the basis for the design and development of the new generation infrastructure supporting high-fidelity operational simulators. This trade-off needs in particular to take into account ideas for additional capabilities to automatically synchronise in a semi real-time manner the high fidelity simulator models with the real Spacecraft (S/C) status. Such capabilities would potentially allow to accurately detection of on-board anomalies and / or problems in the simulated spacecraft models.
