Spacewalk Simulation

A spacewalk simulation is a training exercise that replicates the conditions of an extravehicular activity (EVA) in space. Using specialized equipment like a neutral buoyancy pool, astronauts practice tasks such as repairs or equipment handling while wearing spacesuits. The simulation helps them build skills, coordinate movements, and understand how to work in the weightless, zero-atmosphere environment of space, all in a controlled setting on Earth. This preparation enhances safety and efficiency during actual missions outside spacecraft or space stations.
