International Day of Human Spaceflight 👩‍🚀👨‍🚀🚀 12.04.1961 was the date of the first human space flight, carried out by Yuri Gagarin. Our team had the chance to visit the European Astronaut Centre @esa and learn more about the Astronaut training! #asclepios #space #analogmission

Team work 🙌🏻 In harsh conditions it's vital to work together. The analog astronauts have to put aside the inconveniences and support each other.❄️ 📸 @timonbachmann // @schalemasato . . Location : @verbierswitzerland #valdebagnes #asclepios #analogmission #teamwork #activities

On the Dark side! It's now pitch black under the ice... When you look up through the hole at the starry sky and let yourself float in the water, you can imagine what it must be like to float in space and look up at the stars. ✨ 📸 @schalemasato #asclepios #analogmission

Diving into Space! 🤿🚀 The few holes on the surface make emerging from the water challenging. Just like on space walks where there is only one or few hatches back into the pressurized craft. Timon Bachmann Severin Jakob #asclepios #diving #water

❄️During the training our analog astronauts had to breach the ice and create holes for the divers to submerge into the water. Three holes were sawn into and a rope was stretched under the ice as a guide. 📷 (@severin_jakob) #asclepios #environment #analogmission

Space flights poses several challenges to the human body. But how can we thrive and not just survive in space ? Dr Rowena Christiansen fellow of the Aerospace Medicine, member of the Australian Space Agency has a diverse background in the space medical field.🌟

Space medicine⚕️with @RomainCharles , member of mars-500, first full duration simulation of a crewed flight to Mars and the longest analog mission conducted so far by @ESA Our crew learned about the challenges and management strategies of isolation on analog missions. #asclepios

Switch off and give an hour for Earth at 8.30pm wherever you are. #MyHourForEarth #earthhour #asclepios #analogmission #spaceflight #analogastronauts #astronauts #extremeenvironments #wwf @wwf Photos: @SeverinJakob

World water day! During the Extreme environment training our analog astronauts had to dive in the icy waters of Lac de Vaux, Verbier with a temperature of 1 to 2 °C. @timonbachmann #water #environment #analogmission

What are the effects on human body during spaceflight? How do humans adapt to hostile environments? Our analog astronauts had a training on Human physiology in Space by Laure Boyer from Spaceship FR team, French Space agency (CNES). #asclepios #analogmission #physiology #cnes

An analog mission challenges both body and mind! 💪🏻🧠 Our analog astronauts had mental skills training by the Olympic sports coach Esther Müller and her daughters Deborah and Shyrleen Müller. Thank you @FIFAcom and @swissolympicteam! #asclepios #analogmission #mentalskills

Women are capable of doing everything! 💪🏻🌸 Today we celebrate the International Women's Day with our brave female analog astronauts! 📸 @schalemasato // @timonbachmann #asclepios #analogmission #analogastronauts #women #womenpower #womensday #8thofmarch #astronauts

Space is a harsh environment with many factors that push the human body to its limits, including freezing temperatures.❄Luckily @_wearepepper provided our analog astronauts with the necessary @Columbia1938 clothing to keep them warm during the extreme environment training. 🧣🧤
