How Digital Twins Could Streamline Space Propulsion Design

Insider Brief Digital twins are emerging as a key tool for improving the design, testing, and operation of Hall thrusters by integrating real-time data with high-fidelity simulations. Researchers at Imperial College London have proposed a modular computing framework using machine learning to enhance predictive modeling and optimize thruster performance. Challenges include high computational costs, real-time data integration, and the need for in…
