NASA's 2025 Astronaut Candidate Class has continued its rigorous training program over the summer. Since their public introduction on September 22, 2025, at the Johnson Space Center, the ten candidates have been immersed in comprehensive training designed to prepare them for future space missions. This summer period has included activities simulating the conditions and demands of space exploration, ranging from survival in extreme environments to aircraft familiarization.

NASA's training program is multifaceted, aiming to equip future astronauts with a wide range of skills. This includes instruction in spacecraft systems, International Space Station operations, extravehicular activities (EVA), robotics, and Russian, a crucial language for international space collaboration. Additionally, they undergo intensive physical training and emergency scenario simulations, ensuring they are prepared for any eventuality during a mission.
