Application of Virtual Reality Technologies in Training Cosmonauts for Extravehicular Activities.

Abstract

The paper considers the topical areas of applying VR environment in the pro-cess of training cosmonauts to perform extravehicular activities. The tasks that can be solved using virtual reality are defined. The paper gives a descrip-tion of operations and scenarios for which it is possible to use virtual reality systems. The stages of cosmonaut training, at which it is advisable to apply the results of the defined tasks, are determined.
