ESA astronaut Timothy Peake will soon dive to the bottom of the sea to learn more about exploring space. A permanent underwater base almost 20 m below the waves off the coast of Florida will be Tim’s home for more than a week in June. The NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations, or NEEMO, allows space agencies to test technologies and research international crew behaviour for long-duration missions.
JAXA will send Astronaut Kimiya Yui to the 16th NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO 16) as part of his training to stay at the International Space Station (ISS) for a prolonged period.
