Aucun simulateur de vol dynamique actuel n'est en mesure de réaliser des figures liées au combat tournoyant ou à l'évasion de missiles. Ils sont de plus incapables de restituer les effets des manœuvres des chasseurs à poussée vectorielle de nouvelle et future génération. Certaines figures conventionnelles ne peuvent être réalisées en totalité et sont compensées par des effets sonores et visuels de plus en plus réalistes, qui augmentent les déséquilibres sensoriels. 1, record 2, French, - simulateur%20de%20vol%20dynamique

The Fluid Science Laboratory(FSL) is a multi-user research capability to study dynamic phenomena of fluid media in the absence of gravitational forces. FSL occupies one ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack]. For facility users, the most significant FSL element is the Facility Core Element that houses the central experiment module, the optical diagnostics module and the standardised Experiment Containers(ECs).... The FSL can be operated in fully automatic or semi-automatic modes by the flight crew, or in a remote-control mode from the ground(telescience). 3, record 3, English, - fluid%20science%20laboratory

Developed specifically for use in the microgravity environment, the Space DRUMSÖ(Dynamically Responding Ultrasonic Matrix System) facility uses an acoustic levitation process that enables large fluid or solid material samples to be positioned and held stably in microgravity while they are being processed on the space station. Called containerless processing, this leading-edge system of dynamic acoustic beam positioning prevents the samples from touching the walls of their containers, thus avoiding defects or contamination. 2, record 4, English, - acoustic%20levitation

Mis au point spécifiquement pour utilisation en conditions de microgravité, le module Space DRUMSÖ (Dynamically Responding Ultrasonic Matrix System) utilise un procédé de lévitation acoustique qui permet de positionner et de stabiliser de gros échantillons de matières liquides ou solides dans des conditions de microgravité pendant leur traitement à bord de la station spatiale. Appelé traitement sans creuset, ce procédé de pointe utilisant le positionnement dynamique par rayon acoustique empêche les échantillons de venir en contact avec les parois de leurs contenants, ce qui prévient tout défaut et toute contamination. 2, record 4, French, - l%C3%A9vitation%20acoustique
