We present here the Pan-STARRS Moving Object Processing System (MOPS) Solar System Model (SSM) comprising of synthetic populations of objects inside Earth's orbit (IEOs), near Earth objects (NEOs - Athens, Apollos and Amors), the main belt asteroids (MBAs), Trojans of all planets from Venus through Neptune, Centaurs, trans-Neptnuian objects (classical, resonant and scattered TNOs), and short and long period comets (SPCs and LPCs). All of these populations are complete to a minimum of R=24.5, corresponding to approximately the expected limiting magnitude for Pan-STARRS' ability to detect moving objects.The only exception to this rule being the NEOs, which are complete to H=25 (corresponding to objects of about 50m in diameter). The PS SSM is an integral part of the MOPS and will be utilized to test and characterize the PS1 survey and subsequent processing.
