Abstract: A possible mission for a manned space laboratory is telescopic observation of the earth. A major problem is the design of the control systems for manual pointing and tracking of the telescope. A flight simulator was constructed by the Douglas Aircraft Co. to investigate the control dynamics and to determine how much, if any, computer aid to the operator is necessary. Problems involved in the design of the simulator are considered. The major portion of the discussion pertains to the configuration of the optical system. A description of the facility and mission types simulated is given and the importance of certain viewing system parameters, such as magnification, is briefly noted.
