RECERCAT author Calderón, Alejandro J. author Yarza, Irune author Sinisi, Stefano author Lazzara, Lorenzo author Di Valerio, Valerio author Kosmidis, Leonidas author Trompouki, Matina 2024-06-10 Considering the complexity in the design of future satellites and the need for compliance with ECSS standards, the METASAT project proposes a novel design methodology based on model-based engineering and supported by open architecture hardware. The initiative highlights the potential of software vir-tualisation layers, like hypervisors, to meet standards compliance on high-performance computing platforms. Our focus is on the development of a toolchain tailored for these advanced hard-ware/software layers. In our view, without such innovation, the satellite industry may face high and unsustainable development costs and timelines, which could affect its competitiveness and reliability. This paper provides an overview of the model-based engineering toolchain, the workflow, and the digital twin concept proposed for the METASAT project. We present the purpose of each component and how they work together in the broader METASAT vision, with the objective of showing how this approach can make the development process more efficient and enhance dependability in the sector.The research presented throughout this paper has received funding from the European Commission’s Horizon Europe programme under the METASATproject (grant agreement 101082622).Peer Reviewed"Article signat per 11 autors/es: Calderón, Alejandro J. and Yarza, Irune and Sinisi, Stefano and Lazzara, Lorenzo and Di Valerio, Valerio and Stazi, Giulia and Kosmidis, Leonidas and Trompouki, Matina M. and Ulisse, Alessandro and Amonarriz, Aitor and Onaindia, Peio" Open Access Àrees temàtiques de la UPC::Informàtica::Hardware Technological innovation Satellites Virtual machine monitors Computational modeling Reliability engineering Software Digital twins Model-Based Design Digital Twin Hypervisor Satellite High-Performance Modularity Reusability The METASAT Model-Based Engineering Workflow and Digital Twin Concept Conference lecture
