  • Summary

  • In this episode, recorded at Realize LIVE Americas 2024, we’re joined by Tom Stoumbos, Director of Engineering at Northrop Grumman. We delve into the fascinating world of space exploration and the intricate technologies behind space vehicles and satellite systems. Tom leads a team of simulation and test engineers and reveals the complexities of designing for the cosmos, from servicing commercial satellites to supporting ambitious lunar missions. Learn about the vital role of simulation in overcoming the challenges of deep space, the innovative refueling technologies in development, and the potential of AI and machine learning in pioneering the next era of space travel. Don't miss the insights from a leading mind in aerospace engineering, where every mission pushes the boundaries of human achievement and ignites our imagination for the final frontier. Key Takeaways The role of simulation in the design and testing of space vehicles and satellite systems Establishing infrastructure on the moon is a critical steppingstone for deep space missions due to the reduced power required to launch from the moon compared to Earth The challenges associated with space exploration include the need for accurate simulations and the management of vast amounts of data. Machine learning and AI can help process and analyze this data more efficiently. The importance of collaboration between industry and academia Predicting the establishment of a lunar orbiting lab in the next few years and possible lunar infrastructure within the next 15 years.
