1.0 SUMMAEY

The completion of the training activities, directly related to the

preparation of the primary and backup crew teams for the third mannedGemini Mission will require more than Uo hours a week for each crewmember. This does not include several crew activities which are accom-plished on an individual basis (such as study and physical fitnesstraining) or those activities that are considered to be more directlyin support of operations and engineering effort. A summary of the crewmembers' time involvement in each training activity is included infigure 5-1.

Planning and coordination will determine the relative success infulfilling the training objectives within the minimum time period.Equipment location and availability will be such as to reduce crew and

ground support personnel travel requirements. The Crew Commander (3~l)is responsible for accomplishment of the overall plan.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

This document defines the specific mission training and operational

'activities of 'the primary and -backup crew'designated-.for the 'thirdmanned Gemini mission. It is primarily-intended as a guide to the flightcrews'and personnel responsible'for the training of crews for flight.The•modification and'updating of this document will-be the responsibilityof the'Flight Crew Support'Division (FCSD) with the authorization of the

'Assistant Director for Flight Crew Operations. The criteria used in de-veloping this plan were a s follows: " - ' . . . . • •

1. The specific mission training'period covers the final period oftraining (approximately six months) during which selected crew membersbegin training for an assigned mission. When applicable it'also includestheir participation in the group training effort.

2. Although crew members are normally scheduled as teams and intheir designated seat- position-j cross team and cross seat training willbe accomplished to assure that each crew member can satisfactorily per-form the'more•critical tasks. This will permit some late date flexi-bility in reassignment of'crew personnel as well as alleviate the sched-uling problem. The degree of cross training will decrease as the. launchdate approaches.

3. Only one crew member will be required to participate in the lesscritical activities.- He, in turn, will brief the other crew members asto significant results. This applies particularly to spacecraft testingand certain systems or operations meetings.

k. The backup crew must be as prepared for'-flight as the primarycrew. This will permit, if the need arises, replacement as a team or byindividual seat position with no or minimal delay to launch schedule.

5. The spacecraft test schedule is the basis for scheduling allother crew activities.

6. Crew members will receive a review of the appropriate space-craft systems prior to participation in major spacecraft tests and fly-

ing the mission simulators.

7. The following designation has been assigned the four crew mem-bers:

3-1 Command pilot primary crew

3-2 Pilot primary crew (right seat position)

3.0 PREPARATION AND .TRAINING- : . . .v, . - , :

. . . . - „The following is a description of each of the major areas in which

the crew will be extensively involved. •••Schedules, defining specific areasof preparation are included on figure 5-2 and figure 5-3 to illustratethe proper sequencing of individual crew activities. . . . . . . .

3.1 Spacecraft Tests

Ex tensive .participation by crew members 'in'the"testing of .theirrespective spacecraft>is.of major operational and training value to theflight crews. It is necessary to have an operator or observer insidethe spacecraft during many of the tests. The flight crews will fre-quently fulfill this requirement for the major spacecraft tests and, inso doing, become very familiar with the characteristic,functioning ofthe spacecraft they will fly. In addition, when various modificationsor "fixes" are considered, or required, they;will be able ,to make inputswith full knowledge of the situation.

Spacecraft tests are normally run on a 2U-hour basis, requiringboth crew teams tptcpver the critical crew interface tests. One or twocrew members can adequately cover the less critical tests. The crewmembers will be responsible for briefing those-crew members, who didnot participate in a particular test,.on the significant results. Wh en,.practical all four crew members will attend the major spacecraft testreviews. . • ;_ _ • . • - . . , . • • . - . . . - .

The crew participation in the spacecraft testing pf the Gemini Vspacecraft is shown in figure 5-2. Each crew mem ber will spend betwee nUo and 50 hours in the Gemini spacecraft no. 5. and ...a much greateramount of time observing, trouble shooting, reviewing the status of thespacecraft as well as supporting prior;,spacecraft .tests and launchoperations. • • • . .

3..2 Gemini Mission Simulator Training

The flight crew will complete a training .program utilizing theGemini Mission Simulator to provide them with extensive experience in the

normal and abnormal operation of the flight systems as well as a multi-tude of operational anomalies. The.program consists of.1+0 sessions whichare outlined in table U-I. Since simulator hours per se'are not signifi-cant with regard to the training requirements, no session times arelisted. Ho.wever, for general scheduling with the other .training acti-vities (see fig. 5-l) it is assumed that unsuited-and suited sessions runapproximately 2 a n d , 3 hours, respectively. . . . . .

Increased emphasis in the training program will be placed on out-the-window vehicle positioning -and control during both day and night sideoperations, using .both the Gemini Mission Simulator and the Gemini PartTask Trainer.. The-tasks to be-performed using the visual display systems

are: (l)- orientation of the vehicle to various positions from random ini-tial attitudes : , (2) practice estimating vehicle.'rates using celestial andterrestrial information, (3) practice flight plan maneuvers and tests,

.(U) manually position the spacecraft and hold retroattitude during "simu-lated retrofires, (5) manually control spacecraft attitudes and attituderates during reentry using the horizon, and (6) practice REP rendezvousprocedures. .

This document contains only an outline of the flight .crew missionsimulator program. A detailed description of each exercise will bedistributed on a limited basis to those personnel and crew members whoare directly involved in training on the Gemini Mission Simulators.

The mission simulator sessions, will be accomplished with crew members intheir assigned seat position. Generally, the familiarization and systemsfailure sessions will be accomplished.at Houston and the mission trainingexercises at Cape Kennedy.

Each training session includes a briefing and debriefing. The pro-gram order may be. modified depending upon such factors as availabilityof simulation tapes, equipment, and assessed value of individual sessions.

Training on the mission simulators will .proceed in four phases:fami-liarization•, systems failures, .normal mission with random malfunc-tions, and launch and network simulations".: --

-3.2.1 Familiarization.- The purpose, of. this phase, is to thoroughlyfamiliarize crew members with the planned mission, the normal operating

.characteristics of the -spacecraft systems, and the preliminary flightplan. These five sessions consist of-a brief prerun review followed byoperation of the simulator.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mission-training-plan-for-third-manned-gemini-flight-crew 9/25

Session 1 - Attitude and maneuvering control using each controlmode including holding vehicle attitudes during simulated retrofire andreentry maneuvers. Platform alignment procedures will also be practiced.

. Sessions 2 through 5 - Review flight plan activities and flightexperiments. The flight .crew will wear pressure suits during two ofthese exercises.

.3-2.2 Systems failure.- The purpose of this phase is to thoroughlyprepare the flight crew in systems failure detection and analysis andthe application of alternate procedures or systems modes. The appli-cation of specific mission rules is at a minimum.

The nine sessions comprising this phase of training have been, tothe extent practical, delineated by major spacecraft system. At leastone session is devoted to each system. The number of failures pe rses,sion (approximately 12) is kept to a minimum so that each failure canbe discussed and practiced in detail. Multiple systems failures areplanned for the final phase of the mission simulator training.

Session 6 - Electrical sequential . . • . .

Session 7 - Electrical power and communications

Session 8 - ACME ' . .

Session 9 - CAMS and RCS ' ' •

Session 10 - Combined ACME, OAMS, .RCS

Session 11 - Same as exercise 8 •

Session 13 -. Environmental control system (suited)

Session lh - OPEN

3.2.3 'Normal missions with random malfunctions;- This phase .con-sists of 19 training exercises with each crew member occupying his as-signed seat position. The purpose of this training is to perfect eachcrew member.'s capability to accomplish his .specific mission duties asdetailed in the mission flight plan. The majority of the training'ses-sions will consist of a nominal launch, practicing the orbital activitieson a nonreal-time basis and a manual reentry. Random failures will besimulated which normally will not require early termination of the mis-sion. Critical mission phases, such as launch, retrofire and reentry,

3.3 Translation and Docking Training

This training will be conducted on the translation and dockingtrainer at MSC. The Gemini translation and docking training is designedto provide the crew members with a familiarization with spacecraft con-trol and docking using all control modes, a wide, variety of initial con-ditions, and various control system failures.

The training will consist of two sessions of approximately 2 hourseach. The first exercise is informal and allows the pilot to becomefamiliar with the trainer and control characteristics. The second exer-cise will consist of twelve runs of increasing difficulty, which willterminate in docking. Various failures will be inserted during thelater runs. Completion of this training will supplement the GMS trainingin maneuvering in the near vicinity of the target vehicle (in this casethe Rendezvous Evaluation Pod) under normal and contingency conditions.

3.U Gemini Crew Station Mockup

The Gemini crew station mockup, which duplicates the Gemini space-craft internal crew ..station, geometry, will be. used-by the flight .crew toestablish cockpit stowage provisions, pressure suit and ejection seat •interfaces, and use of special operational equipment. The.. advantagesafforded by this crew station are early availability and stowage flexi-bility. The flight crew'will utilize this trainer as the" need arises.'
