arXiv:2608.13589v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As human space exploration returns to the Moon, astronauts need rapid access to procedural information during extravehicular activities (EVAs), where attention is divided across navigation, repair tasks, tool handling, and environmental risk. The challenge is not the absence of information, but surfacing the right information at the right moment. We present GAIN-AI (Guided Assistant for Intelligent Navigation), a context-aware AI assistant and minimal heads-up interface for procedural guidance in simulated lunar EVA. The system operates in two layers. The first grounds a large language model with structured context: EVA procedure documents, live telemetry data, and error-handling protocols encoded as JSON. The second restructures that output into three compact units for AR display: Goal, Task, and Verification. Evaluated on 111 synthetic EVA scenarios, the system scores 10.0/10 on nominal conditions and 8.15/10 on single-fault scenarios, with performance degrading on multi-fault and boundary-threshold cases.
