Abstract

Six subjects successfully reoriented the attitude of a simulated remote manoeuvring unit (RMU) using an on-off acceleration command control system. RMU attitude was determined solely by viewing the space scene being televised by the RMU. The RMU was controlled under three conditions of angular acceleration; 4,8 en 12 degrees sec 2 resulted in least fuel expenditure and most accurate rate control without a sacrifice in time. These results and subjects' preference data recommended pitch yaw and roll accelerations command control system.
