Abstract

This paper presents original solutions for creation of training complex learning cosmonauts to control a space jet pack on purpose self-rescue when emergency happens. An approach is proposed in which training is carried out in a virtual environment using virtual reality gloves and headset. The idea is that control of virtual space jet pack model is performed by interaction of virtual hands, copying movements of cosmonaut's hands, with three-dimensional model of jet pack's control panel. To implement the training complex, methods and approaches were developed for movement synchronization simulation of virtual and real hands, as well as simulation of jet pack's control panel and thrusters. Approbation of proposed methods and approaches was carried out as part of our virtual environment system VirSim developed at the SRISA RAS. Results obtained in the paper can be used to create training complex for learning cosmonauts to rescue when they accidentally separate from the International Space Station.
