CAVES 2013: Cavenauts’ tales
The CAVES 2013 campaign took place in Sardinia, Italy, in September. In this video the team looks back on their experience of exploring the Sa Grutta cave.
CAVES, ESA’s unique training programme for astronauts, takes place over a couple of weeks in Sardinia’s Supramonte. Six astronauts spend two weeks deep in caves, in the dark and cold. They are separated from the outside world, doing scientific research and daily tasks together, as a group, just like in space. Moving in the cave system is also comparable to spacewalking with the use of harnesses and safety devices.

this is amazing!
These caves videos are just so fun to watch:)
Шикарное видео конечно, только непонятно зачем КОСМИЧЕСКОЕ агентство в пещеу полезло? Тренировки?
Thank you Lena 🙂
Hi Sirio – thanks for these great videos!
Таким образом отрабатывают командную работу. Иногда в ходе таких "миссий" получаются необычные результаты, недавно например нашли "новую форму жизни" 🙂
Nice pictures, which kind of light did you use for take this pictures?
