Use of a predictive display for the provision of flight safety in space missions requiring high-precision manual control

Theoretical and experimental studies were performed with the goal of determining the best kind of information presented on a predictive display to provide the highest accuracy in space mission execution, taking into account the requirement for reduced propellant consumption. The following space missions were studied: docking performed in manual and teleoperator control modes and lunar landing. By using a theoretical technique, algorithms for the flight path marker in manual and teleoperator control modes were developed. For the landing mission, a technique for determining the program trajectory and its calculation in real time was proposed. The experiments performed using a ground-based simulator demonstrated the high effectiveness of a predictive display and allowed to select the best variant of information to be presented on the display.

Automated summary

Theoretical and experimental studies were conducted to determine the best kind of information presented on a predictive display for the highest accuracy in space mission execution, while considering reduced propellant consumption.
