Astronaut Training: Water Survival

An extreme type of Astronaut Training is the water 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 water survival training may seem simple and easy, not each candidate to become a cosmonaut can boast of having performed this Astronaut Training.
