Academic Professor.
Fueling Future Space Scientists: VIRGIL's Role in Academia.
As an academic professor in space science, you love igniting curiosity in your students like a plasma in an ion thruster. These are the minds that will propel us into the solar system. Your challenge is real: bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, within budget constraints and the academic cycle that seems to go faster every year. The state of the art is accelerating. Staying current is hard. At Starbound Space Solutions, we understand your goals and present VIRGIL – a tool designed to offload the admin work with building cutting-edge space technology. Your post-docs should be writing ground-breaking papers, not compliance matrices.
Imagine a Day Powered by VIRGIL:
You have 2 weeks before the start of the teaching term, and a research grant proposal due. With VIRGIL sitting on your laptop, you can feed it the proposal guidelines and your current draft, and get a compliance score in seconds. Powered by LLMs trained specifically on space technology terminology and a knowledge database built by veterans of the space domain, VIRGIL provides insights that online generic services can’t fathom. Since VIRGIL sits on your laptop alone, you needn’t worry about that patentable IP leaking out to some unknown data centre that powers free online AI tools.
Addressing Your Unique Needs:
We’ve designed VIRGIL from day 1 to be lightweight enough to sit on standalone machines in a docker container with as little interfacing to the outside world as possible. The easier it is for your IT department, the quicker you get to use it. We’re trying to hit the pricing structure such that you can get it with your discretionary budget, too.
The Starbound Commitment:
With VIRGIL, your academic endeavours aren't just about textbooks and journal articles; they're about launching the next generation of space pioneers. Our platform equips your students and research groups with a space-literate tool to minimise admin distractions and maximise pushing the state of the art in your field.
An Exclusive Opportunity:
We are fellow innovators, and VIRGIL is still a work-in-progress, but not for long. We are keen to partner with the right academic group to be a pathfinder case study for VIRGIL, in trade for a heavy discount on the subscription.
Join the Research Revolution:
Your insights and challenges can shape VIRGIL's evolution. Share your experiences with us, and let's collaborate to rewrite the future of space education, exploration and research.
