Charting New Frontiers: Optimise Space Agency Operations with VIRGIL.
We know that Space Agency Officers wear many hats. You represent your nation’s interests in multilateral agreements and missions. You steer complex, taxpayer-funded missions and roadmaps. You sign-off on commercial missions, and you champion your national space industry. It’s a lot, and you could do with doubling your team. The budget isn’t going to increase though, so you need to find ways of doing more, with less. On top of all this, you see the trends in the global space community towards tighter regulations on space sustainability, and the lowering bar to access orbit. You can see the inevitable clash coming of increased new entrants to space, and the higher expectations that are placed on them from day 1. How do you bridge the gap between ensuring your nation is a responsible space actor, and not dampen the growth in the national industry? It’s an exciting time to make a real difference in humanity’s space journey, but it’s not without its challenges!
Imagine a Day with VIRGIL Supporting You:
Automate review of standard permits with VIRGIL's space-domain-specialised understanding. As the human, you still need to sign off on the permit, but VIRGIL can highlight the 10% of the document that needs close attention, and provide you with a summary report on the “easy” 90%. Imagine comparing new proposed regulations to existing regs in minutes, not weeks, with automated document analysis and risk scoring. This is the day-to-day reality with VIRGIL, your customised space compliance platform.
From Pressure to Precision:
Dr. Emily, a hypothetical technology officer in a middle-tier National Space Agency, was entrusted with coordinating the national contribution to a bi-lateral lunar probe mission. Timelines were tight, and compliance hurdles threatened to derail delivery of a mission-critical payload from a high profile university in-country. There was political pressure to waive all compliance evidence requirements to save the schedule (and national reputation), but Emily knew this would introduce an unacceptable risk of failure - which would be worse. Using VIRGIL, Dr. Emily was able to re-evaluate the payload’s compliance verification matrix in less than an hour, and managed to descope the Verification and Validation (V&V) burden by 60%. Importantly, VIRGIL was able to provide Dr. Emily with the information she needed to show stakeholders (including her counterparts in the other space agency) that it was the “right” 60%, and that the risk increase was acceptable. This isn’t a true story… yet. Maybe it could be yours.
Addressing Your Unique Needs:
You are the guardians of your nation’s space agenda. You have to walk the tightrope of ensuring that your nation’s space reputation is maintained and developed, whilst also making sure that the industry sector can innovate and grow with as much flexibility and freedom as possible. You understand that no mission risk profile is the same. So does VIRGIL. It will meet you where you need to be - from high risk, high reward technology demonstrators to high profile flagship science missions. VIRGIL understands ECSS and NASA guidelines (and can find the equivalencies), with CCSDS and MIL-STDs coming soon. Generate a first draft set of RIDs on a 1000-page milestone data pack in minutes. Introducing VIRGIL to your agency is like giving your team superhero capes - they deserve them.

With VIRGIL, you're not just building the paper trail to demonstrate compliance to regulations; you're setting a new standard for operational excellence. Our platform lets you tailor compliance to the mission at hand -it ‘gets’ the nuance. VIRGIL empowers you to be nimble in the new world of accelerated space developments.
