The RV spaceliner will be controlled remotely in the same way Un–crewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV) drone aircraft are operated remotely. Command and Control will look no different than the trenches at Mission Control Center at NASA. There will, however, be one glaring difference: the existence of what look to be a number of static (no motion) simulator VentureStar cockpits.
The simulator layout has two pilots side–by–side, with a glass cockpit and and what look like high definition monitors in the place of windows in front and on the sides of the pilots. It will look and feel like a static flight simulator. This particular flight simulator, however, is electronically tied to a real spacecraft. The crew operates the spaceliner remotely, from takeoff to orbit to reentry to glide landing to full–stop.
The simulated world on the HD monitors will be replaced by the real world when the landing gear is deployed. Small cameras located in the nosewheel and the two main gears will be pointed outward. The nose gear will point forward, while the port main gear points at the 270o mark and the starboard main gear camera points at the 90o mark.
