Sydney-based space technology company Metakosmos has unveiled commercial software for spacesuit and bioastronautics intelligence. Called Kosmosuit Kernel360, the software aims to redefine how astronauts are trained and is also relevant to operators working in extreme conditions.
Drawing on the latest advancements in space technology, real-time operations, digital twins, and suit telemetry, Metakosmos has engineered a software solution that replicates space flight’s dynamic and challenging conditions within a virtual training environment. The company focuses on developing innovative solutions and extreme environment suits.
Leveraging state-of-the-art simulations, advanced algorithms, real-time suit telemetry and immersive experiences, the software offers new training opportunities for students, researchers, flight surgeons, astronaut cadets, career astronauts, and pilots. Key features of Kosmosuit Kernel360 include:
-
Multi-planetary simulation: Astronauts and pilots can now experience the complexities of human space flight with unparalleled realism, from zero-gravity environments to orbital manoeuvres and docking procedures.
-
Applied Biomechanics: The software employs proprietary learning algorithms to tailor training and performance experiences to individual astronaut and pilot needs, ensuring optimal skill development and proficiency.
-
Suit telemetry: Suit users can engage in a wide range of scenario-based training exercises, preparing them for various challenges encountered in space missions and extreme environments through real-time telemetry.
-
Suit digital twins: Customisable suit digital twins with invaluable insights into user performance, facilitating targeted feedback and continuous improvement before operating on real-world assets.
-
Cost-efficiency: By simulating human spaceflight missions with a connected suit and telemetry platform, the software significantly reduces the costs associated with traditional astronaut training methods, human resources, infrastructure needs, data discrepancies and capital equipment.
“Our team is thrilled to unveil this revolutionary software, which represents a major milestone in the evolution of commercial human spaceflight life cycle,” said Metakosmos CEO Kiriti Rambhatla. “By harnessing the power of our proprietary technology, we aim to empower users with the skills and confidence needed to navigate the challenges of modern spaceflight. The tool is also of value to extreme operators across land, sea and air”.
Kernel360 is being developed further with support from the Australian Space Agency’s Moon to Mars Supply Chain Capability Improvement Grant. The software will be deployed at the Responsive Space Operations Centre, Adelaide for beta testing.
Kernal 36 has a modular open architecture, allowing it to adapt to other industrial segments through integration into third-party applications. Alazadhar Al-Sanai a leading Saudi Arabian real-time operations company is partnering through its environmental intelligence application.
