Astos Solutions

Astos Solutions GmbH is a specialized provider of advanced software and hardware solutions for the space industry, supporting end-to-end mission analysis, design, and validation. With over two decades of experience, Astos Solutions enables clients to reduce development costs and increase productivity across all phases of a space mission—from concept to operations.

At the core of its portfolio is ASTOS (Analysis, Simulation and Trajectory Optimization Software), a powerful and flexible tool for mission analysis, trajectory and vehicle design optimization, guidance, navigation and control (GNC), and end-of-life disposal studies. ASTOS supports a wide range of applications including launcher ascent, electric propulsion transfers, interplanetary missions, constellations, rendezvous, sail applications, and planetary landings.

Key capabilities of ASTOS include:

• High-fidelity modeling of space systems and environments

• Optimization and trade-off studies for trajectory, mission, and system design

• GNC/AOCS design and verification, including error budget engineering and safety/risk analysis for launcher ascent and space debris

• High-performance visualizations and virtual reality visualization

• Full digital thread: from model-based design to processor-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop (PIL/HIL) integration

• Integration with MBSE and simulation platforms

The company’s EGSE (Electrical Ground Support Equipment) product family includes:

• A reconfigurable AOCS SCOE (Special Check-Out Equipment) based on dSPACE components

• A GNSS simulator from SYNTONY

• A camera and LIDAR simulator for real-time testing of vision-based navigation algorithms

Astos Solutions serves satellite manufacturers, space agencies, system integrators, and research institutions, offering tailored engineering services, training, and licensing models to match mission and program needs.
