The Shuttle Mission Simulator is the primary tool employed in the training of orbiter flight crews in ascent and abort flight techniques at the Johnson Space Center. The simulator uses a motion system, visual systems, and a high-fidelity cockpit to enhance accuracy of training. A team concept is utilized to train flight crews and controllers for each mission to ensure a complete understanding in both orbiter systems and mission specific flight profiles. Thus, each flight crew and flight control team is prepared for the actual flight by practicing repeatedly both the nominal ascent and each type of possible abort situation for that Shuttle mission.
