a variety of information, such as imagery, topography, atmospheric, geochemical datasets and more, which has resulted in and still demands, databases, versatile visualization tools and data reduction methods. Such rate of valuable data acquisition requires
the scientists, researchers and computer scientists to coordinate their storage, processing and relevant tools to enable efficient data analysis. Appropriate tools shall be used during the preparation phases but also during space operations. Exploiting the
benefits of advanced immersive virtual environments (IVE) has been recognized as an important interaction paradigm to facilitate future space exploration.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
