Satellite Simulator Market Trends

The satellite simulator industry is seeing more network orchestration technologies being combined with simulation platforms. As satellite networks grow larger and more complex, simulators need to model and manage large groups of connected satellites effectively. Adding software-defined networking and optical communication features to simulation platforms helps operators test their systems more accurately and efficiently. These tools let operators create true-to-life test scenarios, which helps ensure satellites work well and communicate reliably with each other.

For instance, in March 2024, Antaris, a space mission software platform provider, joined forces with Aalyria, a company that develops advanced software-defined and optical networking communications. Through this partnership, Aalyria's Spacetime network orchestration technology will work together with Antaris TrueTwin, giving operators the ability to run satellite simulations across entire constellations.
