## Notice

***Please note this is an award notice, not a call for competition*** The ASTOS software is a specialised multi-purpose tool for space applications. Originally designed for trajectory optimization, it now provides modules for a variety of analysis, simulation and design capabilities for the whole project life-cycle. The software has been developed with support of European Space Agency and has become the industry standard software across Agencies and industry. UKSA require the ASTOS software with a number of their standard modules to build a package capable of supporting risk analysis for future launch and novel in-orbit activities. This capability is vital for UKSA to act as a trusted regulator of these activities.
