Kotov runs through some tests hooked up to a laptop simulator. Simonyi wrote on Monday: "There are also simulations using three laptops showing the displays and the view through the pilot's optical visor. The hand controllers are connected to the laptop like a mouse. The system is very realistic and can be used, for example, even on the space station for the returning crew to practice the procedures before the reentry."
