In this 7:40 video, students can see how astronauts train for space missions in Earth environments that simulate space exploration, such as the Aquarius underwater laboratory in Key Largo, Florida. This video also gives students a chance to compare the equipment needed for underwater environments with that needed for space. It explains how scientists use mathematical equations to determine an astronaut’s center of gravity.
