NASA and Dauntless XR collaborate to use AR/VR technology to visualize satellite monitoring data

According to a recent report from Yingwei.com, NASA and the startup Dauntless XR have signed a contract to use Aura, a proprietary space computing platform developed by Dauntless continuing threats to members. The contract value has not yet been announced. This collaboration will provide NASA with more powerful tools to monitor and predict space weather and take appropriate measures to protect space facilities and personnel. The characteristics and specific application plans of the Aura platform have not yet been disclosed.

Dauntless XR’s Aura is able to utilize satellite sensor data to visually display solar activity in an immersive space, providing monitoring and prediction assistance to space operators on the Earth side.

Solar weather events, such as flares, coronal mass ejections and solar energetic particles, can erupt suddenly from the sun with little warning. Especially high-energy particles from the sun can reach the earth in just one hour, posing a huge threat to astronauts and spacecraft.

Coronal mass ejections take 1-3 days to reach the Earth and can cause power outages, disrupt aircraft systems, and interrupt radio communications. Satellites could be destroyed and astronauts exposed to dangerous radiation levels. In addition, phenomena such as aurora may also occur.

Therefore, a strong space weather program is critical to space exploration, developing the space economy and protecting the Earth.

Dauntless .For space weather, we have the opportunity to provide a platform for innovation and cooperation for the space economy and space exploration."

It is reported that the Aura application will first support Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest devices.
