Live Virtual Reality System for the Control and Monitoring of Space Operations

This paper describes a work in progress relating to the development of a virtual monitoring environment for space telemanipulation systems. The focus is on the improvement of performance and safety of current control systems by using the potential offered by virtualized reality, as well as good human factors practices.
