This paper describes current simulation research activities carried out at the Langley Research Center in the areas of remotely controlled operations, task performance, and analytical operations, along with early simulators developed at the center. Special attention is given to the center's current space simulation capabilities which are applicable to manned space operation studies, including the Advanced Concepts Simulator (ACS) and a computer-generated imagery (CGI). The ACS was designed to represent an aircraft cockpit for flight operations in the 1990s but will be also suitable for simulating a variety of astronaut work station applications. The CGI, scheduled for delivery in 1989, will be able to provide out-the-window scenes representative of many operational tasks from rendezvous and docking/berthing to control of telerobotic devices.
