BOSTON, MA, July 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Twin Consortium® and Object Management Group® (OMG®) announced they will present mini-workshops during the 8th IEEE International Conference on Space Mission Challenges for Information Technology (SMC-IT 2021), which runs virtually from July 26-30, 2021.
Space missions are leveraging digital twins for many applications, from in-space additive manufacturing to using augmented reality in microgravity environments, to onboard real-time event decision and control. Digital Twin Consortium speakers will explore the role of digital twins and enabling technologies in tackling space IT challenges. Dr. Michael Grieves, Chief Scientist for Advanced Manufacturing, Florida Institute of Technology, and John Vickers, Principal Technologist, Advanced Manufacturing, National Aeronautics, and Space Administration, will keynote the workshop on July 28, 2021.

Government-led projects remain focused on deep-space missions and the new commercial space industry is building the future of spaceflight in low-earth orbit. In its mini-workshop, OMG speakers will focus on the technical standards that enable innovation while reducing costs, schedules, and risk for government and commercial space projects. Steve MacLaird, Senior Vice President, Government & Industry Strategy, OMG, and Colonel (Ret.) US Air Force will kick off the workshop with a keynote address on July 29, 2021.
