Abstract

Spatial orientation is a challenging task for the astronauts living inside the spacecraft that has complicated structure. To have a better understanding of the spatial orientation task inside the multi-module space station, it is necessary to find a general method to describe the orientation tasks. In this study, we proposed a hierarchical model called “LOCS” to illustrate the different types of orientation tasks. We validated the effect of this model by an experiment in the simulated multi-module space station developed by virtual reality. This model made the spatial orientation process clearer and provided a basic framework to study the related issues of orientation in the space station in the future.
