The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) has signed an agreement with Tokyo-based R&D startup SpaceData to fuse the digital and space spheres.
SpaceData will create a high-fidelity lunar digital twin platform, delivering a detailed Earth-based digital twin platform.
For the Emirates Lunar Mission, SpaceData will provide a simulation environment leveraging MBRSC’s rover observation data for enhancing mission efficiency and accuracy in upcoming lunar exploration. SpaceData will also develop a digital twin environment to support lunar exploration training for UAE astronauts.
The high-fidelity simulation will replicate lunar surface conditions, providing detailed three-dimensional spatial and physical environmental data. The training will enhance UAE astronauts’ capabilities, ensuring safe and efficient exploration activities.
The Tokyo-based company will also develop a highly detailed digital twin of Dubai’s urban environment. This project aims to drive tourism and economic development by offering immersive, digital experiences of the city. The platform will enable virtual tourism, transcending geographical and temporal limitations, and unlocking new opportunities for global tourism demand.
By incorporating satellite and meteorological data, SpaceData will construct a disaster prediction digital twin for Dubai, focusing on large-scale disaster simulations to enhance safety.
