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.
