NEEMO 19: Mission day 5

From the creator

ESA astonaut Andreas Mogensen reports from inside the Aquarius habitat from where he is helping to direct his crewmates taking part in a simulated spacewalk on the surface of an asteroid. NEEMO – NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations – trains astronauts for life in space. Living and working in an underwater base is similar to being on a space station. NEEMO’s underwater habitat off Florida acts as makeshift a space base for astronauts to make regular ‘waterwalks’ in full scuba gear. Both underwater missions plan sorties for the astronauts to simulate spacewalks.
