NATIONAL SPACEPOWER CENTER  /  IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENT

A Room Where Spacepower Becomes Tangible

Modeling, simulation, live data, and mission visualization brought together in one physical space — so participants can see how complex space systems operate, interact, and respond when conditions change.

01 — THE PROTOTYPE FACILITY

A Physical Space Built for Exploration

Hosted at Sedaro's Arlington, VA headquarters, the prototype environment pairs immersive display with role-based workstations and real flight-like hardware.

Flexible by Design

The environment is not tied to a single vignette or technical configuration. New scenarios, data sources, models, software, and partner capabilities can be integrated around specific research, educational, and mission-analysis objectives.

MODEL & SIMULATE

Run missions and proposed architectures forward in operational context

VISUALIZE

Make orbital activity, coverage, and system dependencies legible at a glance.

EXPLORE SCENARIOS

Work through threats, decision timelines, and second-order outcomes as they unfold.

CONVENE

Put government, industry, academia, and allied partners around one shared picture.

FEATURED

In July 2026, consortium members presented the Center's first integrated pilot demonstration to U.S. Space Force leadership.

Five consortium companies developed a pilot "space dogfighting" vignette at the NSpC immersive environment, delivered to Gen. Saltzman and Lt. Gen. Schiess.

02 — WHO IT SERVES

A Shared Environment for Different Perspectives

An unclassified setting where complex spacepower questions can be explored with audiences across the national space enterprise.

01
SENIOR LEADERS and STAFF
Orientation to the domain and the tradeoffs behind space investment decisions.
02
INDUSTRY and ACADEMIA
A neutral venue to test concepts against real operational context.
03
GUARDIANS and the JOINT FORCE
Mission context across orbits, systems, and the dependencies between them.
04
ALLIES, PARTNERS, and the PUBLIC
Unclassified exploration that can be shared openly, without a clearance.
03 — WHAT COMES NEXT

Designed to Grow with the Mission

The July 2026 pilot was an initial capability, not a final configuration. SFA and the consortium are using senior leader feedback to refine the environment, build additional scenarios, expand industry participation, and tailor demonstrations to specific audiences.

"Our next step is to build on the initial demonstration, expand the consortium, and develop scenarios that address the most consequential spacepower questions facing the nation."

REFINE the ENVIRONMENT
Senior leader feedback from the July pilot is driving the next build.
DEVELOP ADDITIONAL SCENARIOS
Aimed at the most consequential spacepower questions facing the nation.
EXPAND the CONSORTIUM
Additional industry participation and contributed capability.
TAILOR DEMONSTRATIONS
Different audiences need different framing of the same problem.
