12 Space traffic management: a simulationbased educational app for learners
Abstract
Due to the swift creation of human-centric applications and technologies, educational and training programs are progressively transforming toward newer ecosystems of modernization through the adoption of augmented and virtual reality technologies. Simulations and gamifications in engineering education and training could play a huge role in imparting knowledge with entertainment and amusement thereby bringing in positive and effortless understanding of concepts among the students. Foreseeing this, a game based on virtual reality named “Space Traffic Management” has been incepted with the purpose to disseminate space flight and astrodynamics learning environment in the current education scenario. The game, chosen in the national level toy hackathon event (Toycathon 2021), is a typical simulation of realistic space traffic schema with infotainment factor for helping to simplify space education among aspiring students and bring value in their practical understanding. The game helps in stimulating strategic understanding among the players by providing them an invigorating environment consisting of animations, graphics, sound effects, and music. This chapter reports the inception of this game prototype with the mathematical theory related to its creation.
