The paper investigates the methodical and organizational issues of the use of existing helicopters in order to evaluate cosmonauts’ operator qualities for the benefit future manned space missions. The methodology for studying the ef-fects of long-duration staying in space on the quality of activity of a cosmo-naut-operator who controls a complex dynamic human-machine system has been designed and tested. The paper offers the system of objective indications for the evaluation of cosmonauts’ operator qualities according to the results of a series of preliminary experiments.
The paper proposes experimental studies to evaluate a cosmonaut's ability to control an on-planet rover immediately after a long space mission. The general concept of the experimental research is presented. The general requirements for a simulator of the on-planet rover and proposals for the technical support of post-flight research are represented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
