Digital Twin

Test the data centre before it flies

A coupled digital twin of the space data centre technology stack: change one subsystem and see its effect on all the others, long before hardware is qualified.

Coupled models

Five models, one orbit-day

Sunlight sets the power budget, power sets what compute can run, compute sets the heat to reject, and passes set when results can come down. The twin runs them together.

Dispatch controllers

Compare strategies for when and where workloads run, across many scenarios, before choosing one for flight.

Fault detection and recovery

Inject faults and watch the system detect, isolate and recover, with every event logged.

Risk and resilience

Space weather, debris, radiation and charging become twin faults (radiation retries, link outages, degraded radiators, lost compute nodes) to measure consequences.

Telemetry sync and what-if

The twin follows telemetry and answers "what if" questions about the same system it mirrors.

Connected to the stack and to wildfire detection

Why the twin matters for fire

Detection only helps if the data centre has the power, cooling and link time to run it at the moment a fire starts. The twin shows when it will, and what to change when it won't.
