15. Applying User-Centered Design to Space Mission Planning
DescriptionWith the rising prominence of space exploration, including civilian travel, there is a critical need for more individuals to grasp fundamental astrodynamic concepts to ensure the safety of space missions (Cole, 2015). Unfortunately, the software programs currently used to estimate space trajectories are often complex and require significant expertise to use, making them inaccessible to the average person. Augmented/mixed reality technology (AR/MR) offers an opportunity to bridge this knowledge gap as it allows for a user to visualize real-time space travel in 3D and collaborate using cutting-edge headsets like the HoloLens 2, Quest 3, and Apple Vision Pro.
This study reports on an academic collaboration between Human Factors (HF) and Aerospace Engineering (AE) departments to develop an easy-to-use AR system for space mission planning.
