This paper discusses an environment being developed to model a mission of the Space Launch System (SLS) and theMultipurpose\r\nCrew Vehicle (MPCV) being launched from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) to the International Space Station (ISS). Several\r\nmodels representing different phases of the mission such as the ground operations processes, engineered systems, and range\r\ncomponents such as failure tree, blast, gas dispersion, and debris modeling are explained. These models are built using different\r\nsimulation paradigms such as continuous, system dynamics, discrete-event, and agent-based simulation modeling. The High Level\r\nArchitecture (HLA) is the backbone of this distributed simulation.The different design decisions and the information fusion scheme\r\nof this unique environment are explained in detail for decision-making. This can also help in the development of exploration\r\nmissions beyond the International Space Station.
