I really like these NEEMO activities. Very cool: simulating delayed communications. I'd love it if they could overcome this issue someday (who knows, maybe neutrino particle communication beams or something).Let's hope Luca Parmitano doesn't have a repeat of his 'fishbowl' experience!Great read Chris.
I am proud to announce that #CAVES2016 will take place 23 June to 9 July, and that we'll have a fantastic crew
NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO-21) training begins on July 11 with splash-down to commence on July 18. The 16-day mission will include a mid-mission decompression and partial crew rotation. Crew make-up for Leg-1 includes Megan Behnken-McArthur (NASA Astronaut), Matthias Maurer (ESA), Reid Wiseman (NASA Astronaut) and Marc O'Griofa (Veterans Administration & Noninvasive Medical Technologies Principal Investigator). Crew for Leg-2 includes Behnken-McArthur, Maurer, Dawn Kernagis (NAVSEA & The Institute for Human and Machine Cognition Principal Investigator) and Noel DuToit (Naval Postgraduate School Principal Investigator).
NEEMO-21: Sea conditions have delayed splash down until Thursday, July 21. Crew is ready!
