Abstract: Mission simulation performs a vital function in the Apollo Space Program by providing astronaut training and various engineering simulations. The simulator trainers also provide “full network” simulation, which is the same as a total mission, via a hardware connection with the Mission Control Center in Houston (MCC-H). The Command Module Simulator (CMS), providing a full simulation of all significant spacecraft systems, is described with a delineation of the on-board computer system and the dynamically controlled visual presentations. All simulated systems functions are originated in computer software packages which functionally tie the on-board computer, guidance and navigation, and orbital mechanics together with a dynamic visual presentation via an infinity optics display to supply composite training capability. Realistic visual simulation of the views which would be seen from the spacecraft at any portion of the mission is provided to the astronauts in the simulator trainer.
