The Precision Air Bearing Floor (PABF) and the Partial Gravity Simulator are utilized in the development and evaluation of Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA) equipment and techniques and for training in 0g mass handling. The ISS mockups include the U.S. Lab, Nodes, Permanent Multipurpose Module, Joint Airlock, medium-fidelity mockups of the Russian Service Module, SOYUZ, FGB, and several other ISS International Partner modules. The SVMF also includes low-fidelity mockups of some commercial cargo vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mockups in the SVMF are used for a variety of engineering and operations evaluations such as cargo transfer operations, on-board stowage evaluations, fit checks, and procedures development and verification. In addition to the ISS module \u201cstack,\u201d there are a number of part-task trainers used for detailed training and assessments. Two additional US lab modules and their associated control consoles are used for scientific payload and interface training. The SVMF houses a mockup of the Orion capsule for support of future Exploration. This mockup is currently used for development and assessments of interior layouts. It will continue to be outfitted over the next several years. SVMF users are supported by video and audio systems along with a local area network.<br><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"255\" height=\"200\" class=\"wp-image-477478\" style=\"width: 300px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nisaroverearth300dpiv3.png\" alt=\"\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"255\" height=\"200\" class=\"wp-image-477478\" style=\"width: 300px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nisaroverearth300dpiv3.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For more information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Operations Control Center<br>281.483.6326<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Point of contact<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Riley<br>JSC Flight Operations Directorate<br>281-483-7019<br><a href=\"mailto:steven.j.riley@nasa.gov\">steven.j.riley@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-topic-cards nasa-gb-align-full maxw-full width-full padding-y-6 padding-x-3 color-mode-dark hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-topic-cards\">\t\t<div class=\"grid-container grid-container-block-lg padding-x-0\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row flex-align-center margin-bottom-3\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desktop:grid-col-8 margin-bottom-2 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"label color-carbon-60 margin-bottom-2\">Keep Exploring<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"heading-36 line-height-sm\">Discover More Topics From NASA<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row grid-gap-2 hds-topic-cards-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/international-space-station\/\" class=\"mobile:grid-col-12 tablet:grid-col-6 desktop:grid-col-3 topic-card margin-bottom-4 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-topic-card hds-cover-wrapper cover-hover-zoom bg-carbon-black\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"skrim-overlay skrim-overlay-dark skrim-left mobile-skrim-top padding-3 display-flex flex-align-end flex-justify-start z-200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"hds-topic-card-heading heading-29 color-spacesuit-white line-height-sm margin-top-0 margin-bottom-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>International Space Station<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"color-nasa-red\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"hds-media-background  \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/International-Space-Station-in-2021.jpg?w=1536\" class=\"attachment-1536x1536 size-1536x1536\" alt=\"\" style=\"transform: scale(1);
