This $100,000.00 federal grant award to the University of Colorado, Boulder was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a virtual reality (VR) design tool for modeling and evaluating microgravity space vehicles and habitats. The objective is to create a physics-based VR simulation that allows designers to rapidly mock-up and experiment with vehicle and habitat concepts earlier in the design process, overcoming limitations of physical mock-ups in 1G environments. The award will fund the creation of the VR design tool (Specific Aim 1) and its evaluation against a physical mock-up in a comparative experiment (Specific Aim 2). This work directly addresses the NASA risk of incompatible vehicle/habitat design by providing a new technology to support the design and assessment of space systems. No set-aside was used for this grant award. The University of Colorado has a history of federal research and development contracts with NASA, the Department of Defense, and other agencies across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics domains.
