Abstract
Paper presents an approach towards digitalizing and enhancing operational procedures within the Test Centre of the European Space Agency (ESA) by exploiting Mixed Reality (MR) systems. The first phase, known as "VirWAIT - Virtual Workplace for AIT & PA Training and Operations Support” 1, focuses on developing the VirWAIT MR system, which was built on the MS HoloLens 2 mixed reality platform. This system serves as a novel user interface integrated with the ESA Mobile Procedure Viewer system called mobiPV, which database has been expanded with MR capabilities. The MR system was tested in two main uses cases 1) installation of thermocouples on an Heat Plate used as GSE for the Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer – SMILE, and 2) phase 2 sensor installation on TEDY (TEst DummY) for a vibration test campaign on the Hydra facility (see Figure 1). The MR system was preliminary tested for the configuration of the JUpiter ICy moons Explorer’s (Juice) Network Data Interface Unit (NDIU) in preparation to the Thermal Vacuum test campaign
