Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
Digital twin implementation in space systems lags behind product development maturity. This study evaluates transfer potential of digital twin approaches to space systems. Expert interviews (n=12) with product development and space specialists validated literature-based solution-challenge mappings. Abstraction level moderates transferability: organizational solutions transfer readily while technical solutions require space-specific adaptations. New Space contexts show higher transfer potential. The framework enables systematic digital twin implementation prioritization for space applications.
