Abstract :
The structure of new space simulators, based on centrifuge with three degrees of freedom (3 DOF) controlled gimbals and a special space suit with controlled air pressure, is proposed. These include: joining and separation simulator. manipulator management simulator, "space motorcycle" (SMC) management simulator. In the development of such simulators, algorithms of imitation of the sensory weightlessness conflict and of the relative movements in the vicinity of a Space Stations (SS) are used. The algorithms that solve the problem of optimal control of the "space motorcycle" are included as a part of simulation software. The tasks to be fullfiled are: transferring the astronaut from a given point to another one. moving in the vicinity of the SS: delivery of a load from a fixed or a moving point to the SS (astronaut rescue): bypass of obstacles.
