QuickSAT™ is a web based satellite design automation environment. This application in the future will allow technicians and engineers to develop and follow a satellite from concept through flight.

Hello All! Quick-SAT has just gone through a leap of updates today, and more will be coming shortly. What do you have to do? Nothing! Just enjoy the new software as it becomes available.

What is new? Here is what is available to users who have online accounts to Quick-SAT:

• Creating a new mission from a baseline satellite bus.
• Select active missions and related configurations
• View Mission summary data, the Mission MEL, and detail part information for the selected mission and configuation.
• You can update mission summary data including mass margins will link to the active design.
• View parts in the inventory via Part Name.
• Delete a mission
• A variety of security updates.

The gateway to QuickSAT/Designer is on your left menu bar. This environment is intended to serve as a "Push Button" Satellite Design Tool Development Environment. It is planned that there will be three primary types of users in this environment. The first are the Satellite Designers - this can be engineers, technicians and those focused on the design and design management of the satellite. The next type of users are Developers who can add design tool modules to the QuickSAT/Designer environment. Developers can also have access to the satellite design process. The last type of primary users are the Administrators of this site (do not plan on this level of access...).

All data is stored and managed on the step_SATdb database, a robust ISO 10303 database geared towards tracking, managing, supporting and managing the satellite design process from concept through flight. This includes not only the design itself, but also inventory control, risk assessment, test and verification, and requirements tracking to name a few of its many elements.
