MuSim

MuSim is Muon Space’s proprietary simulation environment, enabling the company to design satellites and optimize the operation of an entire constellation in virtual space before cutting metal. MuSim spans the full mission lifecycle, from initial concept (Design) through satellite design, integration, test and launch (Build), and into running efficient payload operations (Operate). The operations phase includes automated and optimized scheduling of satellites in a constellation, iteration on operational modes to meet dynamic user needs, and an integrated testbed for new software development before deploying to orbit.

MuSim seamlessly integrates models of increasing fidelity, tailored specifically for each task, ensuring consistent reporting and a source-controlled, repeatable workflow throughout the design process. It is designed to scale out linearly so large constellations and complex operational statistics can be studied and optimized at high fidelity, and it includes a high-fidelity physics engine, detailed models of the LEO environment, satellite and ground network hardware, and tight integration with Muon’s MuOS space/ground operating system to enable high-fidelity simulation of complex system interactions during formulation, build/test, and operations.
