Antaris JANUS-1: World's First Cloud-Built Satellite Reaches Orbit
74 FOMOJANUS-1, designed and tested entirely using the Antaris Cloud Platform, launched aboard ISRO's SSLV-D2 rocket on February 10, 2023 — becoming the world's first satellite designed, simulated, and operated from a cloud platform. The mission validated Antaris' TrueTwin digital twin approach, with pre-launch virtual testing predicting on-orbit behavior accurately.
Why it matters
JANUS-1 is the proof point that satellite digital twins aren't just demos. Full lifecycle cloud simulation, then launch, then compare — that rigor is what turns simulation software into a product investors and operators trust.
