Space Systems Simulation Lab (SSSL)/CAVE Undergraduate Research -- Michael Shoemaker -- 4/18/03 Presenation archived at http://www.jwave.vt.edu/~rkriz/Presentations/AOE4994_DTK-DPF_ShoemakerPrj/ • Goal: • - Explore alternative ways of controlling spacecraft simulators from within a virtual environment. • Motivation: (So what’s the point?) • Combine usefulness of both systems to achieve new results and compensate for deficiencies in the individual systems. • Current Focus: • - Manual control, with emphasis on docking procedures. • Implementation: • (1). Orbital environment • – astrodynamics • (2). Spacecraft simulator • – attitude dynamics and control • Other Possible Applications: • Supervisory control • Planning • Observation • SSSL Web Page: http://www.aoe.vt.edu/research/groups/sssl/ • Presentation: http://www.jwave.vt.edu/~rkriz/Presentations/AOE4994_DTK-DPF_ShoemakerPrj/ • Project Contact: Mike Shoemaker, mshoemak@vt.edu, http://www.aoe.vt.edu/research/groups/sssl/mshoemaker/ Actual spacecraft simulator Computer graphics representation of orbital environment Computer graphics representation of spacecraft simulator
