“The center received a preliminary design of the simulator, which will allow simulating gravity on the moon, weightlessness, and at the same time will allow an astronaut to work in a large area,” RIA Novosti quoted Vlasov.
According to him, the simulator is planned to be installed in a room with an imitation of the lunar relief.
“In addition, augmented reality technologies will necessarily be implemented as part of the simulator,” Vlasov added.
Earlier, the head of the Laboratory of Geochemistry of the Moon and Planets of the Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry (GEOKHI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences Yevgeny Slyuta said that the Russian heavy lunar rover, which is scheduled to be sent to the Moon in 2028, must drill the soil to a depth of six meters in several places and drive 500 kilometers.
