Nyx is revolutionizing the field of flight dynamics engineering as a powerful, open-source tool for mission design and orbit determination. From trajectory optimization to orbit estimation, Nyx is built for speed, automation, and scalability. It dramatically reduces simulation time compared to commercial products, and integrates seamlessly into automated workflows across various platforms.

Additional analysis would run this Monte Carlo for longer and with many more spacecraft (upward of 100), and crucially ensure that the Ruggiero guidance law bounds correspond to the GEO box. Subsequently, one should implement the Q-Law guidance law for more fuel economy. Finally, the analysis should also include a variation on the tightness of the box, especially if the vehicle is equipped with a variable thrust engine as one may wish to drift less out of the SK box and keep the engine at a lower thrust level, or vice versa.
