| - | **Usage** | + | **About the Complex** |
| + | **Purpose** | ||
| - | The “OrbiCraft” construction set and “TERRA” laboratory equipment together are a complex of semi-realistic simulations designed to teach schoolchildren and students the basic principles of developing, designing, assembling, testing, and operating a spacecraft. The main feature: rather than developing the separate systems and going into detail with each device, the complex allows students to instead place an emphasis on the system design of the spacecraft as a whole and quickly obtain the result - a real functioning prototype. | + | The Orbicraft Construction Set integrates with the Terra Space Environment Simulator Complex for semi-natural simulation and is intended for teaching the basics of spacecraft design, development, assembly, testing and operation to school and university students. Most importantly, rather than design individual systems and drill down into their intricate details, the integrated complex and the construction set in particular place emphasis on the systemic design of spacecraft as a whole, providing a shortcut to a working prototype. |
