Our 3D Augmented Intelligence Data and Modelling Synthetics Table-top de-siloes expert data, synthesizes novel scenarios and missing data, and visualizes the impact of encounters with space weather on people, industry, and infrastructure.
For example, massive solar superstorms, where highly magnetized particles from the sun are ejected and interact with the Earth’s magnetic field, can negatively affect power grids, network cables, and the Internet.
The importance of a space knowledge commons cannot be overstated. Shared information on space weather will help us understand the threats and hazards to electric power grids. We are working on an environment to understand and optimize communications, preparedness, and response to severe space weather to minimize the physical effects on not only the grid, but also other utilities and socio-economic impacts on businesses and vulnerable people.
A 3D visualized, augmented intelligence data and modelling table-top for collaborating and preparing critical, interconnected systems to support our resilient, sustainable, equitable lives and livelihoods.
RWI is looking to support and de-risk preparedness by exploring the wide-scale, multivariate effects of space weather on critical infrastructure and systems such as the power grid through these Synthetic Table-top Environments.
Space domain awareness is critical. Within our Synthetic Space SSE users can simulate any relevant scenario of disruption or mitigation to interconnected space assets and Earth-based entities, and play the process forward in time and space with measurement of cascading impacts, including changes in the economy, people, and the environment.
At present, 2000 satellites surround Earth in low-orbit, anticipated to rise dramatically over the next decade to over 100,000 satellites in orbit. The paradigms and structural inequalities that led to this mega-crisis are also behind how space is being occupied, with little coordinated international regulation, discussion of ethical considerations, or consensus-building from a shared vision for the future of humanity in space. The rush to claim near-Earth space is also leaving out the world’s most marginalized communities, including Indigenous peoples, who need to be involved as stakeholders in decision-making.
