Access to Scientific Space Heritage



ASH

Aim: The project will create a virtual control room to simulate space missions and astronomy events thus providing access to Europe’s space heritage, space physics and astronomy knowledge base Courtesy of ESA/D. Ducros



ASH

What is a Virtual Control Room?

Electronic learning environment based on a real control room



ASH

A whole class of students will collaborate in the

virtual control room



ASH

They will work in small groups either

on an island

or

in “open space”



ASH - Edutainment

Students run collaboratively a whole mission During this mission they learn about

astronomy, space science, earth science, physics, chemistry, biology, ...



Role Play - Islands

Each student gets a specific role

engineer, scientist, mission controller,...)

Islands group different roles together to a team to complete a mission



Pedagogical Concepts

Rather “hands on” than classical, unilateral information transfer

Collaborative experience Role playing



Modular components

Hardware configuration: islands either multifunctional (all roles on one table)

or specific (one role per table)



Modular components

Teachware: plug-in architecture load different missions embed different lectures into missions

System

Mission

Lecture 1(physics)

Lecture 2(jet propulsion)

Lecture 3(astronomy)



Technology

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality new interface paradigms handling objects naturally in 3d space

Multimedia Stereo Projection

one large projection for all

Touch Screens for specific role

tasks



Mission Example

How old is the universe? Apply different techniques to observation results to

estimate the age of the universe

Groups evaluate and compare

their results



Mission Example

Mission to Mars operator role: telemetry, surveillance scientist role: conducting experiments engineer role: vehicle construction and control
