Why QuickShot?

Define the problem, discover the solution

Accelerated time to proficiency

User-focused design including clear and consistent inputs, syntax highlighting for popular text editors, thorough documentation, and included example files ease the learning curve

Superior problem definition

Specify system bounds, mission constraints, and objectives, and leave the task of solving the trajectory optimization problem to QuickShot – no initial guesses required

Game-changing optimization

QuickShot employs an advanced stochastic optimizer to reliably uncover global optima even in complex trajectory design spaces
