EON SPACE VENTURES · SIMULATION PROCEDURECapsule cradle repositioning and transport handover
ESV-S03-SOP-03 · Crew capsule · model v3 · 12 steps
Rehearse moving an inert capsule between a declared parking pose and its cradle configuration while preserving support, clearance and closure evidence. Recover from an incorrectly seated support state.
Concept-model training and authoring specification. Real hardware operations require the programme owner’s approved procedure and engineering limits.
Before the exercise
Use kinematic simulation only. The parked pose, motion envelope and support states must be authored and reviewed. Any lifting device is an abstract training support state, not a modelled or certified hoist. No people ride in the capsule.
1 Establish the handover baseline
Model labels: capsule, cradle, shell
Identify the capsule, cradle and shell. Save the initial orientation and the intended transport configuration.
Check: The task revision and all three labels must match before movement.
2 Check the cradle support configuration
Model labels: cradle_left, cradle_right, cradle_rear
Select the three cradle supports and verify their training ready states. Identify any support that differs from the baseline.
Check: An unavailable support blocks the transfer plan.
3 Secure the cradle feet
Model labels: foot_fl, foot_fr, foot_rl, foot_rr
Confirm each foot is in its authored secured state. Record the four locations individually before the capsule is released from its parked state.
Check: A missing foot confirmation causes a hold rather than an assumed stable cradle.
4 Restore external closure
Model labels: door, door_latch_upper, door_latch_lower, top_hatch
Close the service door, confirm its two latch states and verify the top hatch remains in the required training condition.
Check: Movement is blocked while an open service access state remains.
5 Protect exposed interfaces
Model labels: ports_right, upper_port_front, upper_port_rear, service_bay
Identify the exposed service interfaces and assign their protected training states. Keep the transfer envelope clear of the service bay.
Check: Protected is recorded metadata; no unmodelled protective cap is claimed to exist.
6 Confirm the transfer path
Model labels: shell, crown, cradle_brace_fl, cradle_brace_fr
Preview the authored path between parked and cradle poses. Identify crown and brace clearances before acknowledging readiness.
Check: Unknown real handling clearances remain unresolved outside the simulation.
7 Acquire the supported capsule state
Model labels: capsule, cradle, shell
Set the declared external support state, then release the parked constraint. Move only the capsule assembly along the authorised keyframe path.
Check: Releasing a constraint without support is a critical error.
8 Approach the cradle datums
Model labels: shell, cradle_left, cradle_right, cradle_rear
Bring the capsule to the defined approach pose and compare its support contacts with all three cradle datums.
Check: A reversed or offset approach is rejected before seating.
9 Recover the seating discrepancy
Model labels: cradle_left, cradle_right, shell
Present an offset seating state at the right support. Hold, retain the external support state and return to the last accepted approach pose.
Check: Removing support from the offset capsule is a critical failure.
10 Seat and verify the corrected pose
Model labels: capsule, cradle_left, cradle_right, cradle_rear
Repeat the approach with the reviewed correction. Confirm each support contact state and the final baseline orientation.
Check: The corrected pose and all support confirmations are required together.
11 Transfer the support responsibility
Model labels: capsule, cradle, cradle_brace_rl, cradle_brace_rr
Engage the authored cradle restraint state before removing external support. Confirm the rear braces remain in their baseline configuration.
Check: Support transfer cannot occur in the opposite dependency order.
12 Complete the transport handover
Model labels: capsule, door, top_hatch, cradle
Record final pose, support and restraint states, closures and the recovered discrepancy. Release the training package to the next operator.
Check: No real transport, lifting or restraint certification follows from this rehearsal.
Assessment and completion
Score configuration identity 20, support dependency order 25, path and seating choices 20, discrepancy recovery 20 and handover evidence 15. Unsupported release, forced offset seating or movement with an open door prevents completion.
Authoring and headless handoff
Author the capsule as one movable assembly, separate from the cradle. Use declared kinematic support states and review poses; do not invent load capacity, lifting points, centre of mass or dynamic stability.
Reuse the exact GLB and part identifiers. Verify the supported Genesis import and binding path before generation. These are procedure specifications; they do not claim a completed Genesis run.
