Description:
We present the basic elements and first results of an end-to-end simulation package whose purpose is to test the validity of the Space Interferometer Mission design. The fundamental simulation time step is one millisecond, with substructure at 118 ms, and the total duration of the simulation is five years. The end product of a given wide-angle astrometry run is an estimated grid star catalog over the entire sky with an accuracy of about 4 micro-arcseconds.
