Abstract

Modern and advanced spacecraft and rocket systems are developed basing on high-technology systems, robotics, automation tools, computers etc. Therefore spacecraft and rockets tend to be more and more complex in terms of structure and maintenance. These circumstances demand higher requirements for professional skills of maintenance staff. However a personal training is based until now on full-scale systems as well as on spacecraft and rocket mockups and simulators. This equipment includes obsolete computers in most cases and it has insufficient training capabilities. Advanced software-based simulation systems allow to enhance effectiveness of training processes for the spacecraft maintenance staff. Some features are discussed for these systems.
