There are places so remote, so harsh that humans can't safely explore them (for example, hundreds of miles below the earth, areas that experience extreme temperatures, or on other planets). These places might have important data that could help us better understand earth and its history, as well as life on other planets. But they usually have little to no internet connection, making the challenge of exploring environments inhospitable for humans seem even more impossible.

Elon Musk’s need for speed. As the media coverage of the project ramps up, you may have heard of Starlink – SpaceX’s new satellite constellation project. The ultimate goal of this venture is to deploy nearly 12,000 satellites into very low orbit, creating a “blanket” of coverage spanning the globe. A lot of coverage on this project is centered (rightfully) around the potential of this project to deliver fast internet to underdeveloped nations at a minimal cost.

It was exactly one day after my vacation. Starting to get back into the groove, I had a quick chat with my fellow engineer Holger (Staudacher). He casually mentioned that he found a really confusing test failure the other day that we should pair up on. Ready to start digging into some code again, he gave me the broad picture: Internally we use Log4j2 as our logging solution of choice (with the various off-the-shelf adapters to handle 3rd libraries with different log frameworks).

Digital twins are typically used in the field of product life-cycle management (PLM) to model the behavior of individual devices or components within a system. This assists in their design and development and helps lower costs. A digital twin model of a device simulates both the device’s behavior and its interactions with other components in the system.
