Virtual Environment Systems for Simulating Robots in Manned Space Fligts.

Abstract

The article considers computer-based prototyping as part of simulation stands and space simulators for future human-robotic space exploration, as well as features of using virtual environment systems (VES) for this purpose. The article describes the formulation of research tasks related to the use of VES-based simulation stands and systems in modeling the cosmonauts’ activities relying on the experience of designing orbital simulators. In prospect it will justify the composition and purpose of the VES modules for lunar projects and clarify the use of VR-technologies in the simulation of robotic operations during human exploration of the moon.
