Design, plan & launch
space missions
A complete mission engineering workspace built on the Space Mission Analysis and Design methodology ā concept through operations.
A full mission engineering stack
Every tool your team needs, purpose-built for spacecraft programs following the SMAD methodology.
Mission Dashboard
Track phase completion, subsystem budgets, schedule health, and open action items ā all in one view.
Requirements Management
Capture, version, and trace mission requirements from stakeholder needs through verification. Full 5-level traceability with linked items.
Risk Register
Identify, score, and mitigate risks across all mission phases. Probability Ć consequence heatmap with burn-down tracking.
Space Environment Analysis
Assess radiation dose, debris risk, and thermal environment for any orbit. Automatic shielding recommendations included.
Orbital Mechanics
Design and optimize orbits with built-in calculators for altitude, inclination, coverage, ground track, eclipse fraction, and constellation design.
Schedule & Milestones
Track milestones and schedule performance with EVM metrics on an interactive Gantt chart.
Spacecraft Design Studio
Size subsystems with mass, power, and thermal budgets. Build a complete design baseline from propulsion through comms with NĀ² interface diagrams.
Auto-Generated Deliverables
Generate mission documents from your project data ā concept docs, SRS, V&V matrices, completion reports ā with PDF export.
AI Requirements Generator
Describe your mission objective and let AI draft structured system requirements, stakeholder needs, and constraints ā ready to import.
Change Control
Manage baseline changes with formal change requests, impact assessments, and an approval audit trail tied to requirements.
Trade Studies
Score competing design alternatives against mission-specific criteria. Document the decision rationale alongside each trade study.
FMEA / Reliability
Perform Failure Mode and Effects Analysis across all subsystems. Identify single-point failures, calculate RPN scores, and track corrective actions.
Verification Matrix
Assign a Test, Analysis, Inspection, or Demonstration method to every requirement. Track closure status and evidence references across all mission phases.
Phase Gate Checklists
75 pre-seeded review criteria across SRR, PDR, CDR, PRR, MRR, and LRR. Mark items Green / Yellow / Red / N/A and gate readiness updates instantly.
Budget Rollup Dashboard
One view of every mission budget ā mass, power, link margin, cost, data rate, ĪV, and schedule. A single mission health badge tells you whether your program is on track.
Stakeholder Needs & Traceability New
Capture stakeholder needs, link them to requirements, and trace through risks and verifications. 5-level rollup shows traceability health across the mission.
Operations Dashboard New
Monitor ground station contacts, satellite health, and operations timelines. Plan pass schedules and track anomalies from a single operations view.
Program Dashboard New
Executive-level overview of all active missions with health indicators, schedule status, and cost performance across the entire program.
Security Center New
Monitor authentication events, active sessions, and user access patterns. View 2FA enrollment status and security posture across your organization.
Parameter History New
Track every change to mission parameters over time. See who changed what, when, and why ā with full diff comparison between revisions.
Engineering Calculators & Collaboration
Browser-based aerospace sizing tools and real-time teamwork features ā no installs, no spreadsheets.
Engineering Calculators
41 ToolsRun spacecraft sizing calculations in your browser ā powered by SMAD methodology. Each tool outputs results in seconds with no setup required.
Review Workflow
Structured document approval with digital signature log and automatic email notifications on state transitions.
Share Links
Generate expirable read-only share links for any mission view ā cryptographically random tokens with optional TTL.
Live Presence
See who else is active on a document in real time. No polling ā powered by the Heartbeat API.
Notification Center
In-app notification bell with unread count badge. Covers milestones, review changes, and custom events.
The SMAD 8-phase process
Every mission follows the proven Space Mission Analysis and Design methodology ā from concept to operations.
Built for mission teams
Keep your team aligned with shared logs, action tracking, and a real-time activity feed.
Action Items
Assign and track action items by phase, owner, and due date. Close with documented resolutions.
Decision Log
Record every key decision with rationale, alternatives, and responsible authority. Never lose mission context.
Activity Feed
A live log of every change ā requirements added, risks updated, deliverables generated, milestones hit.
Notifications
Get notified when action items are assigned, deliverables are due, or risks are escalated.
Lessons Learned
Capture lessons throughout the program, tagged by phase and category. Build institutional knowledge for future missions.
Company Accounts & RBAC
Create an org account, invite your team, and assign granular roles. 13 mission roles control who can edit engineering data, approve phase gates, manage risks, and generate deliverables.
