Abstract
The XMM satellite will be launched in August 1999 and a simulator has been
developed to test and validate the supporting ground segment. Due to the ve
ry tight schedule and the high fidelity of the modelling required, this dev
elopment effort has provided numerous unique challenges. This article detai
ls these challenges and the approaches that have been taken in meeting them
, as well as the simulator's architecture and current status.
