The NASTAR Center was very pleased to train the HUNOR Program Hungarian Astronauts during their visit. All the Astronaut candidates were medically monitored and performed very well under the stress of multiple centrifuge training profiles. Each centrifuge profile replicates the G loads of an orbital space flight during launch, reentry, and emergency abort phases of space flight in a highly realistic environment. “The excitement of physically training for space provided much of the determination and emotion that got the Astronaut Candidates through their centrifuge training”, said Glenn King, Director of Space Training. https://lnkd.in/dKMEQQwW

To prepare for the gravitational forces experienced on the journey to space, the #Ax3 crew had to take a spin in the centrifuge. This training helps ready the crew for the G-forces felt during launch and landing.
