Astronaut training: Surviving at Sea Tour

An extreme type of space training is the sea training for survival and rescue. Together with Russian cosmonauts and foreign astronauts, you will spend several unforgettable hours in a Soyuz spacecraft descent module capsule in the warm water of the Black Sea. Although the sea training may seem simple and easy, not even each candidate to become a cosmonaut can boast of having performed this training.
