VMS - Lab VMS Lab Please note that clicking on images will take you to a larger view of those images. Visiting researchers, whose needs shape a simulation experiment, work at this station in the VMS Lab.
Researchers control many aspects of a simulation.
They can also introduce failures to see how the pilot and the aircraft respond. Failures during a shuttle simulation might include the blowout of a tire during landing or the failure of the guidance system that helps astronauts locate a runway. The VMS Lab provides many ways to monitor an experiment. To observe important information as the experiment occurs, researchers often use data display monitors. Data can be displayed as text or in graphic form, such as the gauges seen in this data display.
