Design engineers need to study mission reliability for new spaceflight missions, but traditional methods are frequently document-based, while the design processes are too fragmented.
This webinar introduces a model-based approach to analyze a space system's reliability, safety, and mission assurance. This model-based approach helps satellite manufacturers understand engineering risks during spacecraft design. For example, this model can reduce the chance of space debris after the satellite launch, often caused by hard-to-detect design failures.
Watch this webinar to learn how the digital risk twin can support objective, model-based safety analyses concurrently with the design process to ensure the appropriate visibility and traceability required by launch certification authorities.
Traditionally, mission and safety assurance is a manual people-intensive process. But the model-based approach creates an automated process that allows developers and engineers to build a satellite failure model and recognize potential issues in their design before the launch.
See how this approach is effective with a testimonial from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center on using a digital risk twin to perform safety and mission assurance of a small satellite.
The SmallSat reference model explored in this webinar allows users to jump-start their mission assurance and failure analyses. See how this type of model-based analysis allows SmallSat/CubeSat mission developers to assess their designs’ robustness and fault tolerance and help avoid space debris.

Senior Product Manager Model-based RAMS Solution
After Mechanical Engineering studies in Belgium and a Ph.D. in Robotics at the Catholic University of Leuven, Stefan joined CADSI NV in 1997 as a mechanical consulting engineer. In 1999, he joined the Simcenter Engineering services team as a project engineer. Stefan performed an MBS load identification project of the in- and outboard flap systems for the Embraer ERJ 135/ERJ 145. He was a project and account manager for different aerospace projects with MHI. In 2009, he joined the Simcenter Aerospace Competence Center as a business development manager. Since 2014, he has driven the MBSE solution strategy at Siemens for the aerospace industry.
