NASA is preparing astronauts for missions in the Orion spacecraft with the arrival of the spacecraft simulator at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The simulator allows astronauts, engineers, and flight controllers to train and practice for mission scenarios using Orion for future missions to the moon. Orion is the spacecraft that will be used for the first Artemis missions to the moon.
Inside the simulator, the interior is outfitted with the same displays seen in the actual Orion spacecraft and control systems and crew seats able to mimic what astronauts will experience when the Orion spacecraft launches. The simulator can also mimic what astronauts will feel on returning to Earth after the mission is complete.
