Spacecraft system design is mainly dictated by stringent weight requirements and extreme operational conditions, especially during launch. In an attempt to push the boundaries while keeping pioneering missions affordable and safe, engineers eagerly experiment with new materials and innovative structures and systems. Due to the high cost and complexity of designs and replicating real operational conditions in the lab, there is little room for prototype-based development.

Mistakes that lead to damage can have dramatic consequences.

To reduce risk and be time- and cost-effective in reaching all performance targets, engineers require accurate virtual prototyping during a large part of the development cycle. They need both technologies for quick evaluation of potential innovations and highly specialized solutions for very specific physics. Besides, they need tools that can support the very extensive and expensive qualification testing campaigns.

Siemens PLM Software’s portfolio helps you bring groundbreaking space systems to market efficiently and at low risk. By combining scalable system simulation and CAE technologies with performance testing solutions, our solutions support engineering throughout the entire spacecraft development cycle, from functional design to dedicated, highly specialized analyses and to final qualification testing.
