Russian cosmonauts to train on VR simulators starting from 2027
Russian cosmonauts will begin training on new virtual reality (VR) simulators starting in 2027, designed specifically for preparing crews for a new orbital station (ROS). The project, which aims to be completed by the end of 2027, relies entirely on local technology and is being developed in collaboration with the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the company Softlab-Nsk. The VR system will provide advanced flight condition modeling and management processes, boasting superior graphics and architecture compared to existing International Space Station simulators. The initiative also aims to reduce reliance on foreign technologies by producing all components domestically, with the full launch of the Russian orbital station planned for 2034.
A modern space simulator designed for training crews of the new Russian Orbital Station (ROS) is being developed in Russia. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2027 and will be based entirely on domestic technologies. Ixbt.com reports on this.
Specialists from the Institute of Automation and Electrometry of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences are working on the system in cooperation with the "Softlab-Nsk" company. The project utilizes virtual reality (VR) technologies to model flight conditions and control processes.
The developers state that the new complex will significantly surpass the simulators used for International Space Station (ISS) missions. Specifically, the system will feature more advanced graphics and a unique architecture, operating at a frequency of 50 Hz.
The project stipulates that all components are to be manufactured in Russia. This will allow for a reduction in dependence on foreign technologies.
The full launch of the Russian Orbital Station is planned for 2034.
