Is there an advantage to generate C++ code over C code when using Simulink code generation? Is it more efficient, more readable? Or do you have to integrate it with non GN&C software which is in C++ ?

(and completely unrelated, are your teams international or mostly US citizen?)

Thank you. I will have to stick to satellite/probe then, we don't do manned spacecraft on my side of the Atlantic. But that's fun too ;-)

LEO means Low Earth Orbit (from a few hundreds of km to maybe 2000km) Man-rated means that the design, test, assembly ... everything that you have to do when designing the rocket must be safer that for a non man-rated rocket. You can afford having some rocket failing/exploding/... when they transport satellites or probes (event if this cost money), not really when you put human inside. That's mean also that it is more expensive to create, so it will probably not be cost efficient for someone to use such a rocket to launch only satellite.
