LUnar flight Dynamics software for OperationaL Purpose (LUDOLP) is the Flight Dynamics Subsystem (FDS) for Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) mission. This study describes how to develop the Data Simulation (DS) module. The main goal of the DS module is to produce calibrated measurement data. These data will be used for precise orbit determination. This work also explains how to calibrate the measurement data and how to verify this calibrated data. The first step for calculating the computed value is to solve the Light time equation by using Newton-Raphson method and then obtains the observable time from Event Prediction(EP) module. After reading the weather file of the ground station, computed data will be are obtained by data calibrations such as based on tropospheric delay, charged particle delay, antenna axis offset delay and tropospheric refraction delay. The calibrated measurement data were verified by comparison with Orbit Determination ToolBoX (ODTBX). In this study, the geometric data were obtained from GMAT simulation senario. Total delay effect calculated by the geometric data, ground station weather file and measurement model was 4.24m ~ 52.28m, and the calculated range observable, calculated unramped two way Doppler observable, calculated azimuth and elevation angle observables were 4.48×10^3 km ~ 4.11×10^5 km, ± 20KHz, 0 ~ 90°, 270 ~ 360°, and 10.16° ~ 61.78°, respectively. This module can also be applied to the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Deep Space Network (DSN).
