OAS Mock-Up Technical Requirements Specification
2 User’s Need Presentation The OAS mock-up consists in a set of elements that provides a representative environment of a cabin system. The mock-up provides an ergonomic environment with sufficient elements to test, demonstrate and evaluate on-board systems with representative users, such as astronauts, crew members, instructors, and others. The mock-up integrates a set of HMI systems with the results of the activities perform in the previous phases of OAS and ICA project.
The Figure 2-1 shows a concept of the OAS mock-up.
