Space simulation and analytics company Slingshot Aerospace has been awarded a $25.2 million, 39-month contract by the U.S. Space Force (USSF) to further develop and deliver two of its products: Digital Space Twin and Slingshot Laboratory. The contract was funded by Space Systems Command and the USSF’s venture branch, SpaceWERX.

Digital Space Twin is a virtual environment that not only provides a realistic simulation of the physics at play in orbit, but also reflects what’s going on in space in real-time, using multiple data sources to map the current location of bodies in orbit (satellites and space junk) and account for space weather. The program can be used to simulate missions as well as plan for future satellite constellations — something beneficial for governmental and commercial entities alike.
