"LunarPilot - For Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004" website:
www.lunarpilot.comLunarPilot is a computer flight simulation of the
Lunar Landing Research Vehicle. The LLRV was originally developed
by NASA and Bell Aerosystems in the 1960s to prepare Apollo
Astronauts for the moon landing.August 18, 2004 -- Unlike many
experimental aircraft of the 1960's, the LLRV (Lunar Landing
Research Vehicle) was never intended to represent an aviational
prototype at all. It's only reason for existence was to accommodate
and familiarize the Apollo astronauts with the attitudes of a
rocket-powered vehicle that flies under distinctive non-aerodynamic
regimes, such as those experienced during a lunar orbit and the
ensuing touchdown. It is probably the most visionary hardware
simulator ever built. Apollo 11 astronaut, Neil Armstrong - first
human to step onto the Moon's surface - said the mission would not
have been successful without the type of simulation that resulted
from the LLRV's. Nowadays, PC-power converts these rather dry
historical facts into a comprehensible adventure. Welcome to
LunarPilot. You are about to liftoff from the shoulders of a
worldwide acclaimed flight simulation standard. |
