The US Space Force will use a 'digital twin' to simulate satellite incidents

The US Space Force needs to prepare for calamities, but how can it do that when it can't practice using real satellites in orbit? It's going to use a digital twin, apparently. Slingshot Aerospace says it's developing a "Digital Space Twin" that will combine physics-based modelling with real-time object mapping to help the Space Force simulate various situations and plan responses well in advance. The twin will help mission teams decide how to react to a potential collision, for instance. The Spa...
