ASTOS vs. in‑house and other tools

Criteria

ASTOS

In‑house / other tools

Spaceflight scenarios

All (launchers, constellations, exploration, re‑entry)

Narrow domain (e.g., only launchers or only satellites)

Coding needed?

Zero – fully data‑driven (XML/GUI) + Simulink

Often requires custom MATLAB/Python scripts

Validation

TRL9, 20+ years, used on real European missions

Limited to internal projects, no independent validation

PIL/HIL ready

Yes – native dSPACE SCALEXIO integration

Rare – requires custom integration work

Support in Japan

Local support by Orbspace (Japanese, on‑site/remote)

None or limited, English only

Cost / risk

Affordable license, free trial, startup/academic discounts

High license cost; months of development, knowledge loss if staff leaves

  • ASTOS saves months of development time, reduces risk, and helps you achieve return on investment faster.
