Astronauts’ spelunkers returning from a training mission


An international team of astronauts who took part in a training mission, organized by the European Space Agency, has returned home after spending six days in the caves under the ground. Journey to the surface from their underground camp took the mission about five hours.

CAVES mission astronauts gave the opportunity to feel what it means to work as a cohesive and effective team during long space flights. In particular, they were able to hone their leadership and teamwork skills, working in a multinational team, which is typical for the International Space Station.
