OS³ Admitted to the Official INET Framework

The Open Source Satellite Simulator (OS³) which was developed as part of the Collaborative Research Center 876 at the Communication Networks Institute has been admitted to the latest version of the INET Framework based on OMNeT++ and is directly available for every INET User from now on. OS³ can, due to its modular set-up, be modified or applied to satellite-specific problems of ICT. In order to guarantee the accuracy of the simulation, most up to date ephemerides of the satellites and influence parameters of the atmosphere are imported each at the beginning of the simulation. At that, due to an already integrated graphical interface, even inexperienced users are able to tap the full potential of the simulator.
