Streamlining Early Mission Design for CubeSat and SmallSat Teams

CubeSat and smallsat teams face challenges in early mission design, relying on inefficient methods such as spreadsheets, manual calculations, and piecemeal tools. They struggle to choose an orbit, size power and comm budgets, check ground-station coverage, and outline ops timelines before using specialized software. The current workflow is often cumbersome, prone to errors, and lacks standardization.
