You are pointing out a maturity issue, not a capability problem. It's clear to everyone that LLM products are immature, but saying they are incapable is misleading

ECSS also means "European Consortium for Space Standardization". They edit the standards for all fields within space engineering :)

We're currently finishing the design of our first mission, GAMA Alpha, a 6-unit cubesat with a planned sail size of 100 meters square and the best performance of any launched solar sail (area / mass ratio of about 10). LEO launch next year to demonstrate deployment. We don't do much comms as we're fully focused on getting something to space and making it work before we sell the product :)

Thank you for the feedback. We have a lot to show, so I'll see what we can include ;)
