The training performed for flights of the Space Shuttle is intensive and extremely complicated. The training is totally dependent on computer generated training situations in both cockpit simulations and in integrated simulations between the simulators and the Mission Control Center (MCC). These simulations form a complex set of dress rehearsals of the actual spaceflight allowing the participants to address problems in a real world situation and utilize problem solving rationale just as they will be called upon to do during the real flight. The benefits of this type of training have been demonstrated during the flights of the Shuttle as individual flight controllers and whole teams have been tested by various untoward situations. This system of integrated simulation and training, more complex than ever, will be continued in use in the future using even more intricate man-machine interactions required to initialize, control, and operate it.
