Operation of a Space Flight Simulator which Uses Pinhole Optics

A. B. Hitterdal, J. M. Fjeld

An operational space flight simulator using closed-circuit television with pinhole optics is described. Performance and limitations of the television display system are presented. Typical mission simulation experiments are detailed with representative illustrative examples. Practical aspects of the system such as lighting requirements, star background simulation, special modifications to cameras and the operation of the TV switching system are included.
