Missions aren't won in orbit.

They're won
on the ground.

We build uncompromising tools for NewSpace — the simulations that catch the fatal flaw, and the validation cycles that turn hope into certainty.

The race is real.

The NewSpace race is real and exciting — from frontier research to applications that help save lives and our planet. The promise is vast, and largely unexplored.

But our tools don't yet live up to it. Failure rates are too high; time-to-launch and cost can be cut dramatically. ODES exists to close that gap — bringing tried-and-true rigour to the missions of NewSpace.

We're an early-stage deep-tech startup with solid funding and strong advisors, working fully remotely with a lab in Athens that's always open.

While others celebrate the stars, we praise the ground that made reaching them possible.

New Space is scaling far faster than the tools meant to keep it safe.

Reduce risk.
Accelerate development.

Identify and resolve critical issues before launch through comprehensive simulation and systematic validation.

01

Reduce Mission Risk

Identify and mitigate critical issues before launch through comprehensive simulation and systematic validation workflows.

02

Accelerate Development

Parallel validation and automated testing dramatically cut time-to-launch versus traditional methods.

03

Lower Costs

Early issue detection prevents expensive redesigns and mission failures, and automation reduces validation overhead.

04

Ensure Compliance

Automated documentation and traceability satisfy regulatory requirements and customer quality standards.

The tools, up close

Three products we build and use ourselves — to coordinate spectrum, close system budgets, and rehearse operations long before launch.

Coordinate the spectrum before it's contested.

Bring two satellite networks together and find every conflict — downlink and uplink overlaps, beam-by-beam, against live ITU notices. Export a coordination-ready interference report when you're done.

  • ITU notice management
  • Downlink / uplink overlap detection
  • Interactive 3D network globe
  • Coordination-ready PDF export

From proposal to launch night

Run the tools yourself or bring in our engineers — one continuous thread of validation, from first proposal to launch night.

Proposal & Budgets

We help you win the work: full proposals backed by pointing, power and link budgets that stand up to agency scrutiny — the quantitative case that the mission closes.
