So, you’re a Space Entrepreneur. Is it different than being an entrepreneur in other industries?

Not really.

Starting a business wherever you are, uses much the same formula as anywhere else. Where the differences come into play are around knowledge & expertise, and tools & resources.

Here are 7 space software tools that can give you an entrepreneurial edge:

  • Alanax Technologies — Modeling and simulation of ground and satellite communication networks
  • Astros — Launch vehicle trajectory optimization and simulation software for aerospace engineers.
  • BurnSim — Solid propellant internal ballistic simulation software
  • EOX Server — A Python app and framework for presenting Earth Observation data and metadata
  • Flight Club — Orbital launch simulator and data visualizer

  • NASA Open Source Software — Submit and find open source software projects from NASA

…and 8, NewSpace Hub of course! Use NSH to find many other software tools to help your space entrepreneurial journey. Use it for market and competitive analysis, show off what you’re doing, and discover space things you didn’t know existed.
