ISAM

Preparation

Over 36,000 space debris objects larger than 10cm are estimated to be in orbit, and more than 640 collisions have resulted in fragmentation.

A model-based approach, leveraging simulation and virtual twins, accelerates product and service development for successful space surveillance activities, collision mitigation and active debris removal.

Satellites have a limited lifespan, often due to onboard fuel or component failure that leads to end of life.

ISAM capabilities can lengthen spacecraft life through in-space refueling and repair. Utilize high-fidelity simulations to optimize ISAM designs quickly for value-added services and next-generation satellites.

What happens when space systems and satellites are too large or too expensive to fit into a single launch vehicle?

In-space assembly improves satellite aperture size while reducing risks. Eliminate organizational silos in a digital environment to rapidly develop robotic manipulators capable of parts assembly.

Imagine transforming materials from Earth or the Moon into usable parts, goods, structures and infrastructure — in space.

With virtual twin technology, de-risk concepts such as in-space additive manufacturing and teleoperated platforms to expedite time to launch and conquer new frontiers in space.
