Study on 6-degree-of-freedom fixed base simulator of ability of human pilot to modify hyperbolic ballistic trajectories of vehicle approaching moon to establish circular orbit 50 mi above surface; by hodograph presentation of rate of descent and circumferential velocity, altimeter, and vehicle attitude and rate meters, pilots could consistently establish final altitude and velocity combinations for orbits 10 to 90 mi above surface.
