Welcome to the Access To Space Mission Design web site.  In this site, you will find both the information and the tools to assist you in planning your ride to space.  Currently, our system provides data on over a hundred missions (instruments, spacecraft, and launches) in various planning stages, including missions with ride-share space available.  If you would like to add your mission to the database, please Contact ATS for assistance. 

Additionally, our site presents a wealth of information on various access modes.  This data is organized into “toolboxes”, which collectively contain the equivalent of an abridged user’s guide.  The access modes currently contained in our site have been provided directly by the access mode suppliers with the exception of Delta information, which was obtained from public sources.

Future releases will also contain information on additional access modes, such as the Shuttle and long-duration balloons.  Instrument pairings on satellite buses will also be addressed.  Until our site is updated, we have provided you several links in these topic areas to help you plan your mission.
