[0082] The user information 181 is information about a user who uses the services of the server 20 .

[0083] The ground device design information 182 is information on design data of the ground device. For example, if the user is a business operator that develops, maintains, and operates ground devices, the user has design data such as specifications, design drawings, and test data for the ground device.

[0085] The item "user ID" is information that identifies each user.

[0086] The item "Name" is information indicating the name of the user.

[0087] The item "email address" is information about the email address used to contact the user.

[0088] Specifically, the item "email address" includes information about an email address as information for identifying a user, in order to accept the user's login to the service provided by the server 20.

[0089] The item "business ID" is information that identifies the organization to which the user belongs.

[0090] Specifically, the item "business ID" is information for identifying the organization to which the user belongs, and the following organizations are possible. Device developers ·Space development project contractor · Administrator who manages the progress of the space development project based on the commission of the client The item "profile" is information about the user's profile.

[0091] Specifically, the item "profile" holds the following information as profile information input by the user. -Proven technology Specialized fields ·Career history, including company history This profile information can be referenced when searching for a user or a business to which the user belongs. The item "attribute" is tag information of the attribute given to the user.

[0092] Specifically, the "attribute" item can associate a tag according to a role in a project with a user, as follows, so that the tag can be used for searching for the user, etc. Tags for device developers (tags indicating technology development) ·Project Manager Tags ·Project Owner Tags ·Material Procurement Tags The item "evaluation score" is information about an evaluation value associated with a user.

[0093] Specifically, the item "evaluation score" may store score information calculated as follows as an evaluation value for the user who designs the device. In addition to being the user's evaluation, it may also be stored as an evaluation value for the business to which the user belongs. For example, the evaluation value for the business may be determined (by averaging, weighting, etc.) based on the evaluation values ​​of users who belong to the business, or the evaluation of the user may be the evaluation value for the business to which the user belongs. History of device design using the simulation service provided by the server 20 (see, for example, the design history database 216) History of devices designed using the simulation service provided by the server 20 being viewed by other users and adopted in projects (see, for example, the design history database 216) In the matching function provided by the server 20, the history of searches by other users and the history of matching (start of transactions) 5 is a diagram showing the data structure of the constraint database 212. The constraint database 212 includes an item "constraint ID," an item "major category," an item "medium category," an item "minor category," and an item "constraint."

[0094] The item "constraint ID" is information that identifies each constraint in space development.

[0095] The item "major category" is information indicating the general category of the constraint condition.

[0096] Specifically, the "major category" item includes information on the constraints of the following categories: As shown below, there may be stricter performance constraints (e.g., communication speed constraints) than for ground vehicles. Furthermore, the devices and performance requirements that can be adopted may differ depending on the mission to be achieved by the spacecraft. Furthermore, different conditions may apply depending on the space environment, such as inside the ISS, outside the ISS, in orbit, or on the lunar surface. For example, the requirements for the environment inside the ISS include volume, power, communications, exhaust heat, gas disposal, and gas supply. Furthermore, the requirements for the environment outside the ISS include power, communications, exhaust heat, and vibration environment. Furthermore, the requirements for the environment outside the ISS include the possibility of damage to the spacecraft's outer wall or exposed experiment equipment due to meteoroids, debris, etc., and strength requirements based on this possibility are set. Furthermore, there are constraints such as limited visibility outside the ISS. Furthermore, as a requirement of the lunar surface environment, a certain number of asteroid and comet fragments, such as meteoroids and debris, collide with the surface each year, and there is a possibility of damage due to these collisions. Gravity constraints: Gravity is weaker than on the ground For example, inside or outside the ISS, gravity is on the order of 10-6 relative to the ground, and on the lunar surface it is on the order of 1 / 6, so the control of device movement may differ from that of a ground device. Temperature constraints: Temperature changes compared to the ground can be large For example, the temperature inside the ISS is assumed to be around 18 to 27 degrees, but outside the ISS, it is around minus 150 degrees in the shade and plus 120 degrees in the sun. On the surface of the moon, it is minus 170 degrees at night and plus 110 degrees during the day, so the requirements for devices may differ from those for ground-based devices in order to withstand temperature changes that are not expected on ground-based devices. In addition, outside the ISS, heat from direct light, reflected light, infrared light, and cosmic background radiation must be taken into account. The dew point inside the ISS will be approximately 4 to 16 degrees. Communication constraints For example, the bands, communication capacity, and communication ports that can be used by spacecraft are specified and may differ from those of ground-based devices. Spacecraft may also be in a slower communication environment than ground-based devices. Power constraints For example, the total power of a spacecraft may be determined depending on the spacecraft. · Air constraints: Space approaches a vacuum.

[0097] For example, the air pressure inside the ISS is about 98k to 103kPa, which is the same as on Earth, but outside the ISS it is 10 to the power of -5 Pa, and on the moon it is zero Pa (extreme vacuum). The oxygen partial pressure inside the ISS can be around 20k to 23kPa. The carbon dioxide partial pressure may be kept below 707 Pa on board the ISS. Relative humidity may be between 25 and 70% RH on board the ISS. The circulating air velocity may be approximately 0.07-0.2 m / s inside the ISS. · Radiation constraints: There may be constraints such as plasma, ionizing radiation, electromagnetic waves, etc.

[0158] <3 operations> FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the flow of processing for performing a simulation based on design data in accordance with constraints of the space environment.

[0159] As described above, the server 20 is configured to store parameters of each item that affects the control of equipment in a space environment in the constraint condition database 212 of the storage unit 202. The constraint condition database 212 includes, as parameters of each item, at least one of gravity parameters, temperature parameters, communication parameters, power parameters, air parameters, and radiation parameters.

[0160] In step S1121, the simulation processing module 2045 of the server 20 outputs to the terminal 10 a screen for registering or editing design data related to the design of a device.

[0161] Here, the devices include at least one of devices for use inside the space colony (including drones for use inside the space colony), devices for use outside the space colony, satellites, and exploration equipment.

[0162] The design data includes at least one of data defining the device specifications and data on the design drawings of the device.

[0163] In step S1111, the control unit 190 of the terminal 10 displays an operation screen on the display 132 and accepts from the user an operation to register design data including data on the ground device or an operation to edit the contents of already registered design data. The control unit 190 transmits information indicating the content of the user's operation to the server 20.

[0164] In step S1123, the simulation processing module 2045 of the server 20 acquires the registered contents of the design data received from the terminal 10, or the edited contents of the already registered design data.

[0165] In step S1125, the simulation processing module 2045 of the server 20 refers to the constraint database 212 and performs a simulation of what would happen if the device of the design data were operated in a space environment, based on the parameters of each item that affects the control of the equipment in a space environment.

[0166] Specifically, the simulation processing module 2045 simulates the operation of devices in a space environment, and calculates the operation of each device by simulating a group of devices. For example, it simulates the processing for achieving the purpose of exploration while moving a group of devices exploring the surface of the moon.

[0167] For example, a simulation could be performed in which each device exploring the lunar surface is assigned a role, such as a device for surveying, a device for collecting samples from the ground, etc., and the devices communicate with each other and move according to their respective roles.

[0168] Furthermore, multiple devices may be linked both inside and outside the spacecraft. For example, multiple onboard drones may be provided and used to transport objects while communicating with each other.

[0169] Furthermore, the operation of the device may be simulated taking into consideration the presence of a human (such as an astronaut) aboard the spacecraft. For example, a simulation may be performed in which a device that transmits the human's position and an onboard drone operate in coordination so that the onboard drone reaches the human's position.

[0170] In step S1127, the simulation processing module 2045 of the server 20 outputs to the terminal 10 a screen displaying the results of the simulation.

[0171] The simulation processing module 2045 may perform a simulation to determine whether or not a device related to the acquired design data satisfies the requirements in a space environment, and may present the results of the determination of whether or not the device satisfies the requirements in a space environment to the terminal 10.

[0172] The simulation processing module 2045 displays a three-dimensional model of the device corresponding to the acquired design data, and may display the results of the judgment in association with the objects that make up the displayed three-dimensional model.

[0173] When it is determined that the device according to the acquired design data does not satisfy the requirements in the space environment, the simulation processing module 2045 identifies each parameter item corresponding to the unsatisfied requirements. When the device does not satisfy the requirements in the space environment, the simulation processing module 2045 may present each parameter item corresponding to the identified unsatisfied requirements.

[0174] The simulation processing module 2045 may determine whether the acquired design data satisfies the requirements in the space environment by providing a prompt to the large-scale language model service server 95 to prompt the server 95 to answer whether the acquired design data satisfies the requirements in the space environment. For example, specification data may be prepared as design data and transmitted to the large-scale language model service server 95 together with information on constraints in the space environment (constraint database 212), and the answer may be generated by providing a prompt to that effect. The simulation processing module 2045 transmits the answer generated in this manner to the terminal 10.

[0175] The simulation processing module 2045 may determine that the requirements in the space environment are not met by determining whether the device related to the acquired design data can perform the expected control based on communication constraints in the space environment.

[0176] The simulation processing module 2045 may identify one or more specifications that are acceptable in a space environment based on the acquired design data and the spacecraft sample database 213. For example, the simulation processing module 2045 may match the device attributes indicated in the design data with the "attributes" item in the spacecraft sample database 213 to identify sample data that corresponds to the device that the user wants to design.

[0177] The simulation processing module 2045 may transmit one or more specifications identified as sample data to the terminal 10 and present them to the user of the terminal 10. At this time, the simulation processing module 2045 may prioritize the sample data among the sample data in the spacecraft sample database 213 according to the sample provider, the number of times it has been used, whether or not it has been used in a project, and the like, and display the prioritized sample data on the terminal 10. For example, the more the sample data has been used, the more it may be recommended to the user. This allows the user to easily obtain design data for a device that conforms to the constraints of the space environment. The user can start their design using sample data that conforms to the constraints of the space environment as a starting point.

[0178] In step S1113, the terminal 10 displays the results of the simulation on the display 132.

[0179] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the flow of a process for evaluating a space development business operator.

[0180] In step S1221, the matching processing module 2046 of the server 20 refers to the design history database 216 and the space project database 215, calculates the score of the business operator developing the spacecraft, and updates the user database 211.

[0181] In step S1211, the control unit 190 of the terminal 10 receives an operation from the user to search for candidate business operators participating in the space project. For example, the users may be managers or contractors of the space project, or business operators developing devices. In step S1223, the matching processing module 2046 of the server 20 identifies candidates for matching based on the scores of businesses identified based on the user database 211. For example, users with high evaluation values ​​or businesses to which the users belong may be identified as candidates for matching, or businesses related to the objectives of the space project may be identified as candidates. The matching processing module 2046 presents a matching screen to the user of the terminal 10, including information on the identified candidate businesses.

[0182] In step S1213, the control unit 190 of the terminal 10 displays a matching screen on the display 132. The control unit 190 accepts an operation from the user to designate a candidate business operator.

[0183] In step S1227, the matching processing module 2046 of the server 20 updates the matching database 217 in accordance with the information of the business operator designated by the user of the terminal 10. For example, the server 20 enables the matched businesses to send and receive messages, process payments, share files, and the like.
