An astronaut training at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory at the Johnson Space Center. Neutral buoyancy simulation with astronauts immersed in a neutral buoyancy pool, in pressure suits, can help to prepare astronauts for the difficult task of working while outside a spacecraft in an apparently weightless environment.
The United States Army Simulation and Training Technology Center (STTC) [1] provides the United States Department of Defense and United States Department of Homeland Security, with applied research to develop simulation technologies, build on current simulation knowledge, and understand system of systems environments where human, agent, and teams are involved.
The Canadian Army Advanced Warfare Centre (CAAWC, French: Centre d'instruction supérieure en guerre terrestre de l'Armée canadienne, CISGTAC), formerly Canadian Forces Land Advanced Warfare Centre (CFLAWC), Canadian Parachute Centre (CPC), and Canadian Airborne Centre (CABC), is a Canadian Forces training facility at CFB Trenton, Ontario, Canada.
In the late 1980s NASA began to consider replacing its previous neutral-buoyancy training facility, the Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF). The WETF, located at Johnson Space Center, had been successfully used to train astronauts for numerous missions, but its pool was too small to hold useful mock-ups of space station components of the sorts intended for the mooted Space Station ...
NASA purchased the then-processing facility from McDonnell Douglas in the early 1990s, and began refitting it as a neutral-buoyancy training center in 1994 with construction ending in December 1995. The NBL began operation in 1997. [7] The NBL is located at the Sonny Carter Training Facility, near the Johnson Space Center in Houston. [8]
The British Army Training Unit Suffield (BATUS) is a British Army unit located at the vast training area of Canadian Forces Base Suffield near Suffield, Alberta, Canada. [1] BATUS is the British Army's largest armoured training facility, and it can accommodate live-firing and tactical effect simulation (TES) exercises up to battle group level.
The 1,063-acre (4 km 2) site has a firing range, an administration building, barracks, and a 5,000-metre (16,000 ft) length mountain endurance training course. The United States Navy has operated on the 1,300 acres (5 km 2) plus acres since the early 1960s, and is seeking to set aside an additional 4,486 acres (18.15 km 2) of federal Bureau of Land Management property for the facility.
Static stability is the ability of a robot to remain upright when at rest, or under acceleration and deceleration Static stability may also refer to: In aircraft or missiles: Static margin — a concept used to characterize the static stability and controllability of aircraft and missiles.
