The CrossDrive Project develops Distributed and Collaborative Infrastructure based on advanced Immersive Virtual Reality tools for the analysis and management of Scientific Data and Operational Activities of planetary spacecraft. The Collaborative Workspace encompasses advanced technological solutions for central storage processing, 3D visualisation and Virtual Presence in Immersive Virtual Reality environments, to support Space Data Analysis and Space Operations. Science objectives are share and correlate Atmospheric data, analysis and simulations based on the actual main Mars’ satellites (MEX and MRO); compare and correlate data for Geology and Geodesy; benchmark satellite and ground based Mars atmospheric measurements.
