NASA astronauts will spend nine days under water

According to Discovery, project NEEMO (NASA Extreme Environment Missions Operation) is one of several "space analogues", the tests are carried out here on Earth. Other highlights include a reproduction of the space conditions in the extreme cold of the Antarctic, the deserts of Arizona, on Devon island in Canada and Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

NASA astronaut and army Colonel mark Vande HEI working on the so-called human factor. For example, which occurs during the 10-minute delay in communication with ground control and during the spacewalk to gather stones. As expected, all of this will take place during the mission NASA on the asteroid.

In the next few days the crew of NASA will learn to make friends in a narrow module Aquarius, which includes a space laboratory, computers, support, vitality and energy, as well as kitchen and bathroom. The second command, NASA will use Aquarius in August.

Despite political and financial uncertainty in the future of the manned NASA missions, experts say that there is another reason to gather the crew together in difficult situations: they identify leaders.

The leaders of the expeditions hold better team than anyone else. To find the leaders of the expedition among the astronauts, you just need to create an analogue of the mission. That is why we conduct this experiment.
