ESA ECSS-E-ST-40C — Space Software Engineering Standard

Self-Assess
Europe (ESA/ECSS)
v2009 (with 2021 updates)
7 domains
25 controls

The European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) ECSS-E-ST-40C (2009) establishes software engineering requirements for space systems. Applicable to all ESA missions and widely adopted by national space agencies and industry. Covers the complete software lifecycle from requirements to operations including safety-critical and mission-critical software. Includes provisions for software security, quality assurance, verification, and validation. Complemented by ECSS-Q-ST-80C (Software Product Assurance) and ECSS-E-ST-10C (System Engineering). ECSS standards are mandatory for ESA contracts and widely adopted commercially.
