PANGAEA VR

The PANGAEA training course is designed to provide astronauts with the fundamental knowledge and practical skills to be effective field scientists during future planetary exploration missions to the Moon and Mars.

PANGAEA VR serves as a collaborative and portable virtual reality (VR) training tool that complements prime analogue training methods. Through this tool, trainees are transported to diverse locations using a virtual flying machine guided by instructors, facilitating preparation for traverses and geological scouting. This is achieved through the digitalisation of actual terrains and photogrammetry techniques. This immersive experience optimally equips trainees for real-world terrain exploration.
