The US Space Force will use a 'digital twin' to simulate satellite incidents
says it's developing a"Digital Space Twin" that will combine physics-based modelling with real-time object mapping to help the Space Force simulate various situations and plan responses well in advance.
The twin will help mission teams decide how to react to a potential collision, for instance. The Space Force could also use the simulation to design safer and more efficient satellite constellations. And yes, the military branch will also use the digital environment to ready itself for"nefarious acts" from countries with aSlingshot is building the Digital Space Twin thanks to a 39-month, $25.2 million contract.
Any practical proof of effectiveness is likely years away. With that said, digital twins like this might be crucial for the Space Force and other beyond-Earth agencies. They could not only trim costs and speed up development, but help avoid disasters that ruin costly spacecraft or spark international incidents.
