ORBITAL TRAINING

• Space Physiology​
• Advanced G Force​
• Advanced Zero G​
• Nominal Operations​

Week 2 is dedicated to human physiology in space. By the end of the week, you will have learned the science behind how and why your body reacts to space travel and acquired techniques for coping with the adverse effects of spaceflight. You will conduct training to condition your body for launch and re-entry acceleration forces and study and simulate nominal and off nominal orbital mission flight profiles. In addition, you will be able to practice a sequence of mission events in a zero-gravity environment and fulfill a sequence of real life in-space scenarios.

• Emergency Operations​
• Land Survival Training​
• Water Rescue & Survival​

Spaceflight has become routine, but you still prepare for all eventualities. In week 4 you will learn about emergency scenarios, rescue, and survival operation procedures then practice range of off-nominal mission scenarios. Trainees undergo land and water rescue and survival training so that you and your crew are confidently prepared for every situation.

• Vehicle Systems (continued)​
• Rehearsal
• Graduation

Week 6 builds upon Week 5 and gets into specific vehicle operations during the different phases of flight: launch, on-orbit and re-entry. You will finish your week by rehearsing scenarios and mission events while in your spacecraft simulator complete with space suit and communication with mission control. These mission rehearsals are the culmination of six intense weeks of astronaut training. Celebrate your accomplishment with your friends and family at the graduation ceremony and after party at the Orbite Yacht Club!
