SMAD methodology, end-to-end — from mission concept to deorbit
SMAD methodology for spacecraft mission engineering — orbit design, spacecraft sizing, RF, thermal, ADCS, propulsion, and ground systems.
Every mission, the 8 SMAD phases, auto-seeded
New aerospace missions are auto-seeded with the 8-phase SMAD lifecycle — Concept, Environment, Orbit Design, Spacecraft Design, Requirements & V&V, Launch, Operations, Closeout — plus 104 gate criteria drawn from NASA NPR 7120.5, NASA SE Handbook (SP-2016-6105), and ECSS-M-ST-10C. 100+ calculators: orbit mechanics, spacecraft sizing (ADCS, EPS, thermal, RF, propulsion), cislunar design, high-fidelity propagation, and AI trajectory optimization.
Everything missions in your industry actually need
Phase Gates Out-of-the-box
108 readiness criteria auto-seeded on every new mission. No blank-page starts.
Native MBSE Stencils
SysML palette with 13 blocks specific to your domain — drop and go.
Mission-type Templates
12 archetypes pre-configured so you start from the right place.
AI-assisted, Domain-aware
Our AI advisor knows SMAD 8-phase / NPR 7120.5 — not generic SE. Prompts, references, and deliverables frame themselves correctly.

Every tool your mission needs, shipping today
The SMAD pack is the flagship. Every calculator, every review gate, every requirement check and trade study — purpose-built for spacecraft programs, not retrofitted MBSE.
Orbital Mechanics Orbit design · Propagation · Constellations
End-to-end orbital mechanics — from Keplerian elements through high-fidelity propagation to constellation optimization and conjunction screening.
Spacecraft Sizing ADCS · EPS · Thermal · RF · Propulsion · Structures
Every subsystem sizing calculator from the SMAD reference library, with auto-populate from mission parameters.
Reviews & Deliverables SRR · SDR · PDR · CDR · TRR · FRR · ORR · DR
104 review-gate criteria pre-seeded per NASA NPR 7120.5 / ECSS. Every gate has its own deliverable set, review package generator, and readiness rollup.
Environment & Analysis Radiation · Debris · Thermal · Coverage · GSD
The full suite of mission-environment analyses — with proper models, not rule-of-thumb spreadsheets.
Requirements · V&V · Engineering INCOSE requirements · Trace · VCRM · Baselines
The systems-engineering backbone shared with every pack — plus aerospace-specific starter requirements and SysML stencils.
