Seismometer Simulation Software (SEISim) is written to provide a simulation for the seismometer instrument in the Insight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport) mission so that flight software developers can use it to develop and test their software applications. It can generate science data packets, generate housekeeping data packets, and simulate certain instrument behaviors such as leveling, re-centering, and calibration. It has fault injection capabilities that allow flight software developers to inject faults through SEISim to test their software in various scenarios. It also allows users to run multiple instances of SEISim for batch and overnight testing.

This work was done by Shui H. Motaghedi, Johnny T. Chang, and Lermont Khachikyan of Caltech for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
