Siemens’ white paper shows how digital twins accelerate spacecraft design in the Space 4.0 era of privatization, cost pressure, and innovation demand. Using the Simcenter portfolio within Xcelerator, engineers can model complexity, integrate stakeholders, and validate designs virtually—reducing time, cost, and risk. Capabilities span propulsion, fluid dynamics, structures, thermal management, electromagnetics, and mission assurance, combining simulation with physical testing. This integrated digital thread enables faster, more agile development, supports reusable launch systems, and improves safety—helping agencies and private firms remain competitive in a rapidly evolving space industry.
