MSTF first floor
In the MSTF the Apollo astronauts were prepeared for their missions in the CSM and LM simulators. These simulators could also be connected to the Mission Control Center for a socalled integrated simulation.
In the Apollo LM mock-up area astronauts were prepared for their lunar surface exploration activities.
The Water Immersion Facility (WIF) was used to train astronauts for extra vehicle actvities (EVA's)
This floorplan of the MSTF represents the situation in late 1971 when the Skylab trainer facilities were installed to prepare the astronauts for the Skylab missions as from May 1973.
OWS: Orbital Workshop
MDA: Multiple Docking Adapter
The MSTF has also been used to train astronauts for the Gemini missions. The Gemini program was instrumental for the development of the Apollo Program. In the floorplan the footprint of the Gemini spacecraft simulator is shown.
