本文介绍了协作虚拟环境的系统架构，其中参与太空探索活动的分布式多学科团队聚集在一起，为未来的任务探索行星的科学兴趣领域。其目的是减少分布式科学和工程会议当前的挑战，这些挑战阻碍了其协作潜力的开发，因为目前的专业知识、工具和数据集都是分散的。本文研究了软件框架的功能特征，该框架按照航天工业和研究背景下的设计科学研究方法来解决这些挑战。描述了所提出的架构的实现以及基于不同用例的执行的最终用户的验证过程。这些用例涵盖了真实科学分析和操作的相关方面，包括行星数据可视化，因为该系统旨在用于未来的欧洲任务。这一验证表明该系统有潜力增强空间科学家未来进行空间科学研究的方式。
This paper presents the system architecture of a collaborative virtual environment in which distributed multidisciplinary teams involved in space exploration activities come together and explore areas of scientific interest of a planet for future missions. The aim is to reduce the current challenges of distributed scientific and engineering meetings that prevent the exploitation of their collaborative potential, as, at present, expertise, tools and datasets are fragmented. This paper investigates the functional characteristics of a software framework that addresses these challenges following the design science research methodology in the context of the space industry and research. An implementation of the proposed architecture and a validation process with end users, based on the execution of different use cases, are described. These use cases cover relevant aspects of real science analysis and operation, including planetary data visualization, as the system aims at being used in future European missions. This validation suggests that the system has the potential to enhance the way space scientists will conduct space science research in the future.
