Revolutionizing space mission design
Navigating the complexities of nanosatellite mission planning and analysis can be daunting. From the intricate technical requirements to the vast array of scientific and engineering disciplines involved, the process often poses significant challenges and demands extensive expertise.
Rapid and data-driven decision-making is crucial during the development process. We assist the space application creators to focus on their main areas to achieve efficient mission planning.​
​We are building a tool to overcome this challenge and make these processes much easier for you during the development lifecycle.
Join us as we pave the way for a new era of accessible and streamlined space mission design.
We are currently incubated in ESA BIC, and worked for internationally recognized companies, like BHE.

SatZone features
Orbit propagation
SatZone's orbit propagation module is capable of calculating a satellite's orbit from TLE or Kepler elements.
You can define the time range of the calculation, as well as the resolution of the simulation.
Link budget
Analyze the RF and Data-link on your mission orbit. You can calculate RF, Data budgets and optimize your communication. The tool supports UHF, S and X-band communication with multiple coding schemes.
Radiation analysis
Estimate your satellite exposure for your specific orbit. You can choose between trapped particles models and we provide the total ionizing dose (TID) for the volume of interest in your satellite. We provide an automated solution that calculates electron and proton TID in a matter of minutes, therefore you can optimize your geometry and orbit for radiation protection as needed.
