NEEMO 19: Training day 5

From the creator

An update from ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen on training day 5 of NEEMO 19. The crew get to try out the Shark Marine Mako diver delivery system, a sled that they will use transport themselves underwater. 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.
