| Abstract: | This study focuses on the influence of the monitoring method and control complexity on the operator performance in manually controlled spacecraft rendezvous and docking (RVD).Two one-factor experiments were designed on a simulated RVD system.One examined the video guidance and periscope monitoring methods,and the other examined three control complexity levels using one-axis RVD control,twoaxis RVD control,and three-axis RVD control.Eighteen male volunteers aged 22-35 participated in the experiments.The results show that the RVD operating time increases with control complexity.Based on the operators' findings,the two-axis control is the easiest.The monitoring method has no significant influence on failure rate with the low complexity using one-axis RVD control. |
