Abstract
CASIMAR is a pioneering collaboration project within the Bundesverband studentischer Raumfahrt e.V. (BVSR), uniting student groups across Germany in designing, developing and testing a modular lunar rover and specialized EVA (extravehicular activity) tools for human-robot interaction experiments at the LUNA Analog Facility in Cologne, Germany. This student-driven initiative aims to establish a lasting framework for integrating projects of BVSR into the professional lunar exploration research environments. The rover development focuses on three mission scenarios: EVA support, search & rescue, and stand-alone operations, all focused on improving human-robot interaction for astronaut safety and efficiency. In parallel, students develop EVA tools which are essential for hands-on experience and also will be complementary to the rover’s proposed capabilities. The tools also enable early testing campaigns within the LUNA Analog Facility before the rover’s completion. To enhance design, training, and operational planning, CASIMAR will integrate a virtual reality (VR) environment that will serve as a digital twin of the rover and lunar setting, supporting interactive simulations, early-stage validation, and astronaut training. CASIMAR will not only contribute innovative technological solutions but also foster interdisciplinary collaboration and practical experience of future aerospace professionals.
