Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools in use by Spacecraft Designers are assessed by means of a survey distributed. The types of tools in use, the computer platforms and peripherals used, and the extent to which the tools are used are assessed. ESABASE is examined as a prototype integrated CAE package. Recommendations are made for future CAE tool development. The spacecraft designer faces a number of significant challenges that are unique to his field. The spacecraft designer must account for environmental rigors that are either unknown or insignificant at the earth's surface. In addition to creating a component or system to perform a specific function, the spacecraft designer must ensure that it will operate properly in the hostile space environment. The system must be thoroughly checked out to verify that it will survive and operate successfully in space that the many possible interactions between the spacecraft and its environment are each either suppressed or made benign.
