The NASA programme is held once a year and it is limited to 16 people from around the world, selected after individual interviews and tests. The ten-day training cycle includes flight simulation /working in conditions identical to those on a spacecraft/, spacewalking /specialized exercises outside the simulator/ and weightlessness /training for orientation and movement in a zero-gravity environment/.
