ECSS

ECSS, or the European Cooperation for Space Standardization, is a set of standardized guidelines and procedures used by European space agencies and companies. It ensures that space projects—like satellites and space missions—are designed, built, and operated consistently, reliably, and safely. By following ECSS standards, teams across different organizations can effectively collaborate, reduce risks, improve quality, and meet essential technical and safety requirements. In essence, ECSS provides a common framework that streamlines space industry practices across Europe, enabling successful and efficient space endeavors.
