The certification of Flight Safety Officers at the Guiana Space Center requires a repetition of training exercises during which various failure scenarios are simulated. For each of them, the team decides in real time to abort the mission if required when precise conditions are met.
Due to the arrival at the CSG of the new launchers Soyuz and Vega and to the associated increased launch rate, the need to perform these trainings on a dedicated, realistic and easily configurable environment appeared. For this purpose, a training platform called EMUL was developed and is used at the CSG since April 2014.
After a brief recall of flight safety operations and of the training process of Flight Safety Officers at the CSG, this paper presents the main features and the architecture of this “flight safety simulator” and provides preliminary feedbacks and perspectives for further developments.
