- Summary
- This Space Shuttle commander/pilot seat was used in crew training simulators at NASA's Johnson Space Center. It is the type flown on early Shuttle missions and then replaced by a lighter-weight seat. The commander/pilot seats remain fixed in place throughout the mission, unlike the other crew seats that are used only during launch and entry and are stowed during the time in orbit. Like a car seat or aviation pilot's seat, this seat has a power drive for fore/aft and up/down adjustments to suit different crewmembers. NASA transferred this seat to the Museum when it was no longer needed for crew training.
