The European Cooperation for Space Standardisation (ECSS) software engineering standards (ECSS-E-ST-40C, ECSS-Q-ST-80C) establish requirements for space software development used by the European Space Agency (ESA) and European space industry. ECSS-E-ST-40C covers the software engineering lifecycle including requirements, design, coding, testing, and maintenance. ECSS-Q-ST-80C covers software product assurance including criticality analysis, verification, and quality management. Applicable to mission-critical and safety-critical space systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ECSS Software Engineering Standards (ESA)?
ECSS Software Engineering Standards (ESA) is a compliance framework from International (ESA/ECSS) with 8 domains and 33 controls. The European Cooperation for Space Standardisation (ECSS) software engineering standards (ECSS-E-ST-40C, ECSS-Q-ST-80C) establish requirements for space software development used by the European Space Agency (ESA) and European space industry. ECSS-E-ST-40C covers the software engineering lifecycle including requirements, design, coding, testing, and maintenance. ECSS-Q-ST-80C covers software product assurance including criticality analysis, verification, and quality management. Applicable to mission-critical and safety-critical space systems. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
How many controls does ECSS Software Engineering Standards (ESA) have?
ECSS Software Engineering Standards (ESA) has 33 controls organised across 8 domains. The largest domains are 5.3 Software Management (7 controls), 5.2 Software-Related System Requirements (5 controls), 5.9-5.10 Operations and Maintenance (5 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.
What frameworks does ECSS Software Engineering Standards (ESA) map to?
ECSS Software Engineering Standards (ESA) maps to 435 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are HKMA Cyber Resilience Assessment Framework (C-RAF) (15% coverage), ESA ECSS-E-ST-40C — Space Software Engineering Standard (15% coverage), CAIQ (CSA) (15% coverage). Use our comparison tool to explore control-level mappings between frameworks.
How do I get started with ECSS Software Engineering Standards (ESA) compliance?
Start your ECSS Software Engineering Standards (ESA) compliance journey by running a self-assessment on our platform to identify your current compliance posture. Our AI advisory can answer specific questions about ECSS Software Engineering Standards (ESA) requirements, and cross-framework mapping helps you leverage existing controls from other frameworks you may already comply with. Create a free account to access all 33 controls and track your progress.
