To launch from a stationary pad to 65 nautical miles altitude and an orbital velocity of 17,500 mph, astronauts undergo significant g-forces. While the SMS simulates movement, vibration, and sounds, the Brooks Air Force Base Centrifuge Facility provide the simulations of the g-profile experienced during launch.

Astronauts experience 3-G's during launch, and it is important that does not take them by surprise. It is critical that they are able to maneuver and navigate controls while experiencing such forces.
