For first time behind wheel of planet

Cosmonaut Roskosmos Ivan Wagner first ruled the planet transfer – a special simulator who developed experts from the Center for the Training of Cosmonauts named after Yu.A. Gagarin. The simulator of the vehicle for movement over the surface of the moon is designed to prepare cosmonauts to perform promising programs that provide for the development of other planets.

Planet management has become a new element of the scientific experiment “Constellation LM”. At first, the simulator was mastered by astronauts included in the crews of expeditions closest to the international space station at that time. So, for example, Among the first were Anton Sabelers and his Dubler Oleg Artemyev. Astronaut Roscosmos Alexander Misurnkin was previously able to take part in the post-flight experiments on the planet trip, because his space expedition lasted only twelve days.

Gradually, the new simulator is mastering other astronauts. Wagner Ivan Wagner shared his impressions of his debut arrival.

“To manage any vehicle, you must first get used to At the next stage, training will be held using Sokol Skafandra, “said Ivan Wagner.

Before appointment in the crew, the cosmonauts support the resulting skills. The final stages of the study of the quality of the performance of operator activities, including on the planet carrier, are carried out before and after the flight to space. Specialists determine how space flight factors affected the ability of the cosmonaut to move, manage equipment, perform various tasks.
