Updates

Release notes & changes

What's new, what changed, and what's coming to QOSE.

Current Licensing

QOSE now has a free tier

Every account is free from the moment it's created, no card required, no time limit. Ready for QOSE's full advanced toolset? Upgrade any time at portal.qose.qontra.uk.

Current Platform

QOSE is live with real orbital mechanics

QOSE runs on SGP4/SDP4 satellite propagation, ground station pass prediction, collision probability estimation, classical orbital elements, 2D ground track visualization, and live space-weather and debris data feeds. Every account starts free, no card required.

Current Modes

Two ways to simulate: Reborn and Brutal Mode

Reborn handles standard constellation design and mission planning. Brutal Mode raises the stakes with a denser debris field and tighter conjunction pressure, so you can see whether a constellation actually survives contact rather than just checking the numbers on paper.

Current Data

Cloud sync and local autosave

Missions autosave to your device as you work, and Cloud Sync lets you back up to or restore from your own storage bucket — so a mission never lives in only one place.

Current Access

Licensing model in place

Five license types are available: Individual, Team, Organization, Academic, and Partner. Each gets identical full feature access; they differ by scale of use, not by what features you unlock.

Current QOSE Bridge

QOSE Bridge: connect with engineers globally

An open space inside QOSE where anyone signed in can talk with other engineers working on orbital missions, wherever they are. Bridge now covers open global conversation, private chats, and groups, so you can talk broadly or narrow it down to a specific team.

Current QOSE Relay

QOSE Relay: watch a mission live

Relay lets a host share a live view of a running mission with others. The host generates a link and sends it out; each invite is approved or declined by the host before that person can see anything live.

Current BUILD

QOSE Lab and CAD Inspector are live

Two new apps live under the BUILD menu. QOSE Lab is a code workspace for Python and JavaScript, with real syntax highlighting and built-in viewers. CAD Inspector loads 3D models (STL, OBJ, PLY, glTF, GLB, 3MF) for measurement, sectioning, exploded view, and report export. Both sit apart from your simulation missions, and together they mark QOSE's move from an orbital simulator into a full aerospace engineering platform.

Ongoing Maintenance

No scheduled maintenance

There are no planned maintenance windows at this time. Any upcoming downtime will be posted here in advance.

What's ahead AI

QOSE Compass

We're exploring how AI can sit inside the simulation itself — from setting up scenarios in plain language to helping interpret conjunction and risk data as it comes in. Guidance that keeps you in control of the decision, not automation that makes it for you.

What's ahead Analysis

QOSE Scope

Deeper satellite inspection and mission data visualization, giving you tools for looking closer at any single asset in your fleet and understanding exactly what it's doing.

What's ahead Brutal Mode

Deeper live satellite data in Brutal Mode

Expanding Brutal Mode's real-world data further — a broader live catalog of tracked objects for constellation stress-testing that reflects more of what's actually in orbit.

More detailed release notes are on the way. This page will track version-by-version changes, new features, and maintenance windows as they roll out.
