<![CDATA[ The crew's 10-day mission will be filled with science, spacecraft tests, medical checks, survival training and more. ]]>
Spacecraft testing involves a series of evaluations and experiments conducted to ensure that a spacecraft meets the required safety and performance standards before its launch. This includes simulations, uncrewed flights, and crewed missions to identify and resolve any potential issues.
Survival training for astronauts prepares them for emergency situations they may encounter during missions, such as landing in remote areas or dealing with equipment failures. This training includes skills in navigation, first aid, and environmental awareness.
