Developing requirements for space station crew training

In order to prepare a space station crew for a space mission, it is necessary to establish and support the operations of the crew training system (CTS). These tasks can be fulfilled, if the CTS operational objectives are defined. The paper provides results of the work performed at RSC Energia to define the CTS objectives, and to develop requirements for technical training of the crews of Space Station. It was shown that the system of a higher tier with respect to the CTS is the automated spacecraft mission management system (ASCMMS), which drives the objectives of the CTS operation. Based on the analysis of the management processes, a conclusion is drawn that there should communication between ASCMMS and CTS at both design and operational phases. The paper addresses the structure of the training objectives, the objective specifier format, major sources of input for the development of the objectives. The notion of the level of crew competency in the task at hand is introduced. The process of objectives development, criterion for the quality of this process, the methods for improving its efficiency are described.
