Abstract
As part of the CASIMAR (Collaborative Astronaut Supporting Interregional Moon Analog Rover) project, initiated by the BVSR e.V. (Bundesverband Studentischer Raumfahrt), the TUDSaT (TU Darmstadt Space Technology e.V.) team is developing a Virtual Reality (VR) prototype environment to support the interdisciplinary design process of lunar exploration technologies. Given the complexity of collaboration among eight organizations, this tool aims to streamline design integration and enhance mission planning. The primary objective is to create a comprehensive 3D model of the rover, complete with predefined procedures and activities, to simulate astronaut-robot interaction. By leveraging VR technology, astronauts can familiarize themselves with the rover and its EVA (Extravehicular Activity) tools before actual deployment, improving operational safety and efficiency. Beyond training applications, this virtual environment serves as a critical platform for designing, testing, and benchmarking rover functionalities and EVA procedures. Ultimately, our work contributes to optimizing human-robotic interaction, ensuring that lunar exploration missions are both effective and well-prepared before reaching the Moon.
