Application of Virtual Reality Technologies in Training Cosmonauts for Extravehicular Activities.

The technology of modeling various situations in virtual environment systems, which are computer tree-dimensional models of a real or artificial environment, is considered. The user can view these scenes directly on the computer screen, wall screen, stereo glasses, virtual reality glasses, etc. He can also move inside a virtual scene and interact with its objects. In turn, the environment can also change. This allows modeling of various situations (situational modeling) in the virtual environment system. With such modeling, some static or dynamic situation is set in the virtual environment system in which the operator must perform the tasks assigned to him. A mechanism for setting situations by changing a virtual three-dimensional scene using configuration files and virtual control panels is proposed. A special language and editor has been developed for writing configuration files and for creating virtual control panels. The approbation of the proposed methods is presented on the example of two virtual scenes: a training ground for mobile robots and a jet backpack of an astronaut in outer space.

The paper studies the possibilities and quality of performing a number of standard EVA operations by cosmonauts after a long-duration space mission aboard the ISS Russian Segment. Experiments have been conducted using the gravity offload stand that allows simulating the Martian gravity and conditions of spacesuited activity of cosmonauts on the planet surface. A comparative evaluation of the EVA operations performed by cosmonauts in pre- and post-flight experiments has been carried out.
