COMMAND AND CONTROL


Our spaceliner will be controlled remotely like any other drone aircraft. Command and Control (CnC) will look no different than the trenches at Mission Control Center at NASA. There will, however, be one glaring difference: the existence of what look to be a static simulator of the VentureStar cockpit.

The layout has two pilots side–by–side, with a glass cockpit and and what look like large screen TVs in the place of windows in front and on the sides of the pilots. The crew operates the VentureStar spaceliner remotely, from takeoff to wheels–stop.

The normal cockpit windows will be replaced by high definition monitors that will display a simulated world to the pilots, just like in the Flight Simulator.

The simulated world will be replaced by the real world when the landing gear is deployed. Cameras located in the nosewheel and the two main gears pointed outward. The nose gear will point forward, while the port main gear points at the 270o mark and the starboard main gear camera points at the 90o mark.
