Стенд эргономической отработки пилотируемого транспортного корабля как средство проектирования и отработки интерфейсов экипажа

The article considers basic hardware and software solutions for ergonomic testing of new generation spacecraft. It is supposed to create a stand for ergonomic design and pilot testing of crew interfaces: display formats options to inform the crew, a new joystick to control orientation and movement. The article provides a functional composition of the stand and two main operation modes to prepare experimental data and their validation on the basis of software and hardware platforms. These are the ergonomic features of such perspective control devices as orientation and motion control handle on the one hand and various options of information support for the crew using the latest transforming cosmonaut’s console on the other hand that are the most important. All the works are performed along with the development and creation of a unique product. The article describes the main mechanical features of building cosmonauts’ workplace that enable easy assembling and disassembling of the product, its transportation, adaptations and update with regards to emerging requirements and conditions of use. The spe-cialized software provides a number of tasks with remote monitoring and management of new generation spacecraft systems from the workplace of the person in charge using wireless voice communications as well. All the components are unified into a correlated system; data exchange is performed via local computing network. The training hardware includes general purpose industrial objects adapted to the use in the ergonomic stand.
