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.

Virtual Reality Prototyping Environment for Concurrent Design, Training and Rover Operations

Authors: Pinar Dogru, Hanjo Schnellbächer, Tarek Can Battikh, and Kristina Remić

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 130, Advancing Human-Computer Interaction for Space Exploration (SpaceCHI 2025)

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.
