In the framework of ESA's programma for Robotics, Tele-operation and Servicing (RTS) a powerful simulation tool has to be developed to support the various stages in the development process of systems and operations. Therefore, ESA has initiated the development of a European Robotic Operations Simulator (EUROSIM). Two parallel studies, funded and coordinated by ESA, have been performed: 1. Definition and planning of the facility (contract I, by a team with Fokker) 2. Definition and planning of the application software (contract II, by a team with NLR, CAE Electronics (Canada) and ISRA Systemtechnik (Germany)). This report contains the results of the second contract: - additional functional requirements for extended applications of EUROSIM; - preliminary software requirements for the simulation software composed of simulation definition support software, model software and data structures; - a description and evaluation of existing models and software; - an overall development plan for the simulation software. The study output consists of four volumes. Volume I is the executive summary. Volume II contains all requirements. In Volume III detailed specifications of d3mamics models, spacecraft and environment models, and manipulator models are given. Volume IV is a compilation of technical notes.
