Smarter simulation for modern space operations.
A focused conference for software-driven teams working across mission engineering and space operations.
In this interactive workshop, participants take the role of satellite operators responsible for maritime domain awareness. From a shared imaging and sensing spacecraft, teams will collect and interpret intelligence across widely separated operating areas while links and onboard behavior remain under pressure.
Your spacecraft supports persistent surveillance. Imagery, geospatial context, and communications performance must remain operational long enough to deliver answers on demand. AIS and other external feeds are useful – but not infallible.
Your team knows contested RF and sensor ambiguity can distort the picture. When commanders need timely maritime intelligence, every collection pass and every downlink window counts.
The Orbital Intel mission rehearsal exercise (MRX) unfolds through a sequence of operational task orders.
Your mission begins with dense maritime traffic and suspicious behavior in a strategic chokepoint. It moves to change detection against a reference brief in a sensitive littoral region. Then you confront deliberate AIS dishonesty and silence. Can your team fuse what the camera shows with what the data claims? Later, telemetry shifts: an onboard fault demands diagnosis and recovery, while downlink performance collapses under interference. Can you attribute the disruption, identify the co-orbital adversary, and recover service using disciplined frequency response?
Teams must sustain surveillance output as imagery interpretation, data fusion, subsystem health, and RF resilience are tested together.
Similar to a capture-the-flag challenge, participants score points by correctly answering imagery and AIS-fusion tasks, diagnosing the spacecraft fault, characterising interference, and restoring communications performance before situational awareness erodes.
This is not a simplified table-top exercise with stylised components. This is a real operational challenge. No passive observers. No slides. Just teams, telemetry, imagery, and a spacecraft that must keep delivering intelligence under progressive disruption.
Zendir simulations replicate systems-relevant satellite operations in an immersive orbital environment. Our high-fidelity digital twin platform gives participants a live-virtual-constructive (LVC) setting to develop skills through practical application.
The Space Software Summit is designed for engineers and teams building software-intensive space systems. With a focus on mission engineering, system integration, and platform development, the event attracts a highly relevant audience looking for scalable, software-driven approaches to complex mission challenges. It offers a valuable environment for knowledge sharing,
technical discussion, and exploration of emerging tools across the space software ecosystem.
Zendir will be attending as part of its continued engagement with this highly relevant audience, following a successful presence at previous editions of the summit. The team will be showcasing how its digital twin platform enables simulation, validation, and rehearsal of complex mission scenarios, supporting software and mission engineering teams in building more resilient, testable, and operationally ready systems.
