Space Systems You Can Rely On

Physics-driven digital twins for space systems operating across orbital, thermal, and mission lifecycles.

Volantek applies its digital twin architecture to spacecraft and satellite systems, where long-duration operation, limited observability, and environmental uncertainty demand disciplined, physics-based system understanding.

Our frameworks capture the coupled interaction of:

  • Orbital dynamics and mission evolution

  • Space radiation environment and surface effects

  • Materials, coatings, and surface treatments

  • Rarefied and free-molecular aerodynamics

  • Internal thermal environment and heat transport

  • Payload configuration and placement

  • Attitude control and propulsion effects

This system-level view enables reliable insight into:

  • Payload thermal health and operational margins

  • Lifecycle performance, degradation, and sustainability

  • Attitude behavior, correction strategies, and control authority

  • Space debris reentry behavior, breakup likelihood, and impact footprint assessment

  • Physics-informed risk evaluation and policy-level decision support for reentry safety

Supporting early design, on-orbit assessment, and mission assurance — while enabling public safety and policy decisions where orbital mechanics, hypersonic physics, and uncertainty converge.
