𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐎𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐭 As spacecraft grow smarter, simulation must become more real. Onboard AI, computer vision, and high-performance computing are redefining how missions are designed—and how they must be validated. That’s why ClearSpace has been selected by ESA and Asynchronics to participate in ASCEND, to explore next-generation Digital Twin and hybrid simulation capabilities using the NeXosim platform By combining high-fidelity system-level simulation with flight-representative software and progressing toward hardware-in-the-loop—this approach enables earlier validation of complex RPO and GNC autonomy. For our partners, this means faster feasibility assessments, reduced technical risk, and greater confidence long before hardware reaches the clean room. Because the best way to de-risk autonomy in orbit is to face reality early while still on the ground. Stay tuned. #ClearSpace #ESA #ASCEND #Asynchronics #NeXosim #DigitalTwins #HybridSimulation #OnboardAI #AutonomousSpacecraft #SpaceInnovation #RPO #GNC

🤖 Precision in Motion: How ClearSpace Engineers Master the Art of Capture Before a spacecraft can autonomously secure a target in orbit—whether it’s a derelict satellite or a high-value client asset—it must first prove itself in a place where every variable is under scrutiny: Earth. 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲’𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝗯, where capture isn't just imagined—it's engineered, tested, and verified. 🔄 In this prototype testbed, we’re running full-scale capture sequences under the kind of scrutiny only engineers equipped with motion capture cameras can provide. Again. And again. 📍 The mission? Seamless integration between software, sensors, and mechanics. No misalignment. No guesswork. Just a clean, confident capture. Here’s what we’re validating: ➡️ Safely grasping complex, 3D objects ➡️ Closed-loop software controlling motion with precision ➡️ Reliable final outcome — once we have it, we keep it 🎥⁠ /r/eVS The video you’re seeing... It’s filmed to give you a glimpse of ClearSpace servicer’s motion as it performs a capture and endures simulated disturbances —from thruster activity to unexpected dynamics. 💡 The goal? The arms stay locked, sensors stay sharp, and our system doesn’t flinch. 🛰️ This is just one layer of a much broader qualification effort. From thermal vacuum and vibration tests to high-fidelity 3D simulations, we’re rigorously verifying every aspect of our capture system—because in orbit, there are no second chances. This in-house facility allows us to iterate fast, validate concepts early, and ask ourselves every day: What can we test next? It’s how we ensure reliability is built in from the ground up. 🧠 Technology with purpose. Proven on Earth. Prepared for orbit. 📶 Want to dive deeper into the capture tech behind our missions?
