Space On Earth: The Training Equipment

Video Walkthrough

GYROLAB GL-2000

The GYROLAB GL-2000 is a short-arm centrifuge that can model the various aspects of a space launch profile up to 2.5 Gs (two and one-half times the natural pull of the Earth). The cockpit of the GL-2000 is an enclosed space with real-world visual display and authentic modeling of the interior of a space vehicle. That's tech-speak for "you'll swear you're inside a real space vehicle cause it seems so real". You'll actually feel like you're participating in a space launch in the GL-2000.

Altitude Chamber

Also known as the Hypobaric Chamber, the NASTAR Altitude Chamber can simulate atmospheric conditions up to 100,000 feet. Since you're still a civilian astronaut in training, you'll start out with a "flight" to 16,000 feet. When you're over three miles high, you'll feel many of the effects of a thinning atmosphere on your body. In the altitude chamber, you'll learn to operate breathing equipment.

STS-400 Space Training Simulator

The STS-400 is a 25-foot-arm centrifuge with a full-motion gondola at the end of the arm. The STS-400 is capable of duplicating the flight profile of any launch vehicle. Think of it as what a GYROLAB GL-2000 becomes when it grows up. The experience provided by the STS-400 is so intense that professional aeromedical staff will be monitoring your mental and physical health throughout your "flight". They'll be ready to immediately "land" the "space vehicle" if there's even the hint of possible trouble.
