EcosimPro/ESPSS Supports ESA’s European Service Module for NASA’s Artemis Missions
MADRID, SPAIN — EcosimPro/ESPSS has played an important role in the development and validation of the European Service Module, ESA’s critical contribution to NASA’s Orion spacecraft and the Artemis programme. Orion is designed to carry astronauts safely beyond low Earth orbit, supporting missions to the Moon and future deep-space exploration. The European Service Module provides essential spacecraft functions, including propulsion, power, thermal control and life-support resources. Given the demanding requirements for crew safety, reliability and mission performance, advanced system-level modelling and simulation have been essential from the early design phase through qualification and acceptance testing. EcosimPro, together with ESPSS — the European Space Propulsion System Simulation toolkit developed for ESA — has enabled high-fidelity transient simulations of the complete propulsion subsystem. These models allow engineers to predict system behaviour across a wide range of mission scenarios, from nominal operations to critical off-nominal conditions. A key challenge in spacecraft propulsion is the accurate prediction of highly dynamic transient phenomena, including pressure surges, valve interactions, priming sequences and fluid instabilities. EcosimPro-based models have been used to support analyses such as: These studies were carried out by organisations including ESA-ESTEC in Noordwijk, the Netherlands and Airbus Defence and Space in Bremen, Germany. The resulting models were also used to assess and interpret data observed during acceptance tests of flight hardware. As Artemis missions help establish a sustained human presence on the Moon and prepare the way for future journeys to Mars, robust modelling and simulation tools such as EcosimPro/ESPSS remain essential to improving confidence, reducing risk and supporting mission success.
