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.
This paper gives an overview of the control system that has been implemented for the single baseline operation of the Keck Interferometer and indicates how this will be extended to allow control of the future modes of the instrument.

Searches for gravitational radiation can be performed in space with two spacecraft tracking each other with coherent laser light. This experimental technique could be implemented with two spacecraft carrying an appropriate optical payload, or with the proposed broad-band, space-based laser interferometer detectors of gravitational waves operated in this non-interferometric mode.
POINTS is a high-precision, high-throughput interferometer intended for astromomy only. It can perform science compatable with astrophysics (AIM) and planet detection (TOPS-1). The spacecraft will be compact, lightweight, and suitable for high Earth orbit. It will employ the minimal number and complexity of mechanisms or deployable parts and be designed for a 10 year mission life.
