[edit]7. ZERO-G SIMULATION FACILITY: The 5-degree of freedom manned zero gravity simulator has satisfactorily completed initial operational checkout utilizing an aluminum slab (8 ft. wide, 12 ft. long, and 5/8 in. thick) to provide the air bearing floor. The simulator, on loan from the General Electric Company, is installed in building 4619 and will be utilized in zero-g familiarization programs for MSFC design personnel. The 5-degree of freedom simulator accommodates one man, strapped in a 2-axis gimbal system, supported by an air bearing platform. The system provides 3 rotational and 2 translational degrees of freedom
