DiSTI Roundtable

ExCel Center, South Gallery Meeting Room 20 - March 5th

Before The Rocket:
The Software Behind Space Readiness

Sponsored By

WHY THIS SESSION MATTERS

Long before astronauts step into a capsule or mission controllers take their seats, mission success is already being shaped by the software that prepares them.

From immersive VR/AR simulators to safety‑critical embedded systems and integrated digital twins, DiSTI’s technologies quietly drive the readiness, confidence, and precision needed for human spaceflight.

This roundtable reveals the tools, methods, and behind‑the‑scenes breakthroughs that let teams “train like they fly” — and ensure nothing is left to chance when launch day arrives.

📍 This session is held off the show floor — South Gallery Meeting Room 19.

Roundtable agenda

 
Learn how immersive simulation, VR/AR training, and safety-critical embedded systems prepare crews and mission teams for success long before launch. Through examples spanning lunar mobility, space habitats, spacecraft operations, and ground control, this session shows how integrated digital twins and distributed training environments reduce risk, accelerate readiness, and improve mission confidence. Discover how The DiSTI Corporation helps space, aerospace, and defense organizations train like they fly and build mission assurance for the next era of human space exploration.
 
PLEASE NOTE: This session will be held off the show floor, in the South Gallery Meeting Room 20.
