Abstract

Instructor Operation Station (IOS) is a term usually used in the flight simulators consist in a computer based structure that enables the manual or automatic scenarios generation. The mechatronic system control, the instructor supervision and intervention, together with the instructor assistant in operating, monitoring and evaluation Pîslă et al. (Proceedings in manufacturing systems, (2010) [12]) are the main structural modules. In the initial elaboration stage was starting from the large structure of the International Space Station (ISS) and the docking process of the Dragon fright transporter. The aim of the paper is to present the development of a virtual testing platform (VTP), using a parallel kinematic structure for the propulsion simulation, considering the multibody dynamic (MBD) elements in the detecting the errors and the faults docking maneuver.
