NASA has shared raw footage of SpaceX’s Crew-4 astronauts training for their space station mission that’s set to get underway in just a few days’ time.
The footage shows, for example, the astronauts entering the enormous pool at NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The pool is a useful apparatus for training as the floating sensation offers something close to the microgravity conditions that astronauts experience on the space station. The video also shows mock-ups of different space station modules to help the astronauts familiarize themselves with what will soon be their new surroundings in space.
The mission marks the fourth crew rotation to fly on a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket, and the fifth crewed SpaceX flight following the Demo-2 test flight to the space station in 2020.
