Some real-time simulation applications to Space Shuttle approach and landing design and testIn the present discussion of the roles played by real time, man-in-the-loop engineering simulation in the development of NASA Space Shuttle approaches and landings, attention is given to the function of the simulator as a design and verification tool. Aspects of the problem posed by Shuttle landings, and the difficulties involved in this problem's quantification, are noted. Recent results of control system studies for pitch axis control, using fixed- and motion-base simulators, are discussed.
