Abstract

The realization relevancy of the unloading system with adaptive control of specialized training complex "Vyhod-2" for training of cosmonauts to work in zero gravity and low gravity is justified. The theoretical restrictions of the correcting device parameters on convergent rope length and current gravity mode are given. The hardware implementation of the horizontal movement control system is described. The key points of the separate unit of the system are designated. The experimental research results of the designated control system are presented.

Keywords

Unloading test bench, simulators, weightlessness imitation, control system, correcting device, adaptive.
