Maar voor ESA-astronaut Timothy Peake en zijn teamgenoten is dat pas het begin! Gisteren daalden ze af naar een onderwaterbasis voor de kust van Florida, waar zij de komende tien dagen blijven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>NEEMO (NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations) bereidt astronauten voor op hun verblijf in de ruimte. Een onderwaterbasis heeft qua wonen en werken veel weg van een ruimtestation. Tijdens de tien dagen in de basis leven Tim en de vijf andere bemanningsleden in een krappe ruimte, maken ze onderwaterwandelingen en lossen zij als team problemen op.<\/p>\n<p>De basis ligt ongeveer twintig meter diep en de luchtdruk is er 2,5 keer hoger dan op zeeniveau.<\/p>\n<p>Om vanaf die diepte terug te keren naar het oppervlak zijn veiligheidsstops nodig. Snelle evacuatie naar de buitenlucht is dus niet mogelijk.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"1752\" data-credit=\"ESA\u2013Jason Poffenberger\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2012\/06\/ESA_astronaut_trainer_Herve_Stevenin_at_NEEMO_base2\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2012\/06\/esa_astronaut_trainer_herve_stevenin_at_neemo_base2\/17906422-2-eng-GB\/ESA_astronaut_trainer_Herve_Stevenin_at_NEEMO_base.jpg\" alt=\"ESA astronaut trainer Herv\u00e9 Stevenin at NEEMO base\"><figcaption>ESA-astronautentrainer Herv\u00e9 Stevenin op de NEEMO-basis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Dit jaar dagen de NEEMO-aquanauten studenten uit om in het kader van het educatieve programma Science Under Pressure te laten zien wat zij weten van natuurverschijnselen.<\/p>\n<p>Voordat zij naar de onderwaterbasis doken, waren door Tim en de andere aquanauten al enkele onderwijsproeven uitgevoerd. Wat gebeurt er wanneer hetzelfde experiment onder druk plaatsvindt? Blijven de belletjes in frisdrank bestaan? Kunnen speelgoedhelikopters vliegen in de dichtere lucht van de onderwaterbasis?<\/p>\n<p>Aan de studenten wordt gevraagd de NEEMO-missie te volgen en mee te denken over de uitkomst van dit soort experimenten. De eerste juiste antwoorden op Facebook en Twitter worden officieel erkend.<\/p>\n<p>NEEMO is te volgen via sociale media. Naast de specifieke NEEMO-accounts op Facebook en Twitter kan Tim tweets versturen via @Astro_TimPeake. ESA\u2019s astronauttrainers houden een blog bij en zijn met tweets actief op ESA\u2019s astronautenblog en via @ESAstro_trainer.<\/p>\n<nav class=\"related\" aria-label=\"Gerelateerd\">\n<h2 class=\"related__heading\">Gerelateerd<\/h2>\n<div class=\"grid related__grid\">\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/esastro_trainer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">@ESAstro_trainer<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Astro_TimPeake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">@Astro_TimPeake<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/NASA_NEEMO\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">@NASA_NEEMO<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/ESAstro_trainer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">@ESAstro_trainer<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NASANEEMO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Neemo op Facebook<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.esa.int\/astronauts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Blog van een astronaut<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission_pages\/NEEMO\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">NASA Neemo<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"http:\/\/aquarius.uncw.edu\/live\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Neemo-webcam<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/nav>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A splashdown in the ocean usually marks the end of an astronaut\u2019s mission, but for ESA astronaut Timothy Peake and his crewmates, it is just the beginning.
