Virtual Operations Training Environment (VOTE)
|
VOTE is designed to provide astronaut and cosmonaut trainees immersion in a virtual reality environment, from which to observe SSRMS movement in three dimensions. This is useful for developing a 3-D mental model of the Space Station external environment to better judge clearances and distances between the arm and the ISS structure. |
VOTE consists of a workstation with hand controllers, a stereoscopic head-mounted display (HMD) system, head-tracking and hand-tracking devices, navigation devices, and associated interface hardware and software.
Canadian MSS Training Facility (CMTF)
Canadian MSS training facility. |
The facility is used to train instructors, mission specialists for MSS robotics operations activities on the Space Station, and mission controllers for ground-based operations at the Mission Operations Complex.
This facility consists of computer based training workstations, instructor stations, courseware development workstations, video recorders, and TV projection equipment.
