This museum exhibit showcases a scale model or demonstration piece of NASA's Vertical Motion Simulator (VMS) system. The centerpiece is a white crew module pod with distinctive red and blue NASA striping, mounted atop a complex mechanical platform with vertical motion rails and support structures. The VMS was used to train astronauts by simulating various motion experiences. The exhibit is housed in a glass display case within what appears to be a space museum, with informational placards visible below the model. The technical apparatus includes black track systems and metal framework that demonstrate the simulator's movement capabilities.
