SalaryThe research aims to revolutionise the management of Satellite Constellations by investigating methods to automate the creation of data-driven models of satellite systems based on real telemetry data to make it easy for operators to realise the true digital twins of their remote assets. This technology will simplify and secure satellite operations, enabling them to scale effectively. The project offers a unique blend of practical application and theoretical exploration in the rapidly evolving space industry.
