The ESA astronaut rehearsed key medical emergency procedures.

Mentioned as: European Space Agency (ESA)Narrative GeneralJan 2, 2026RT by @Cosmic_Penguin: _-_ Diary of an ESA astronaut _-_ {USA 🇺🇸} Training weeks 77, 78 & 79 🧑‍🚀 Crew training with @SpaceX teams. We rehearsed nominal, contingency, and emergency scenarios across all phases of dynamic flight – over and over! Launch, free flight in orbit, docking, undocking, reentry, splashdown and recovery. Sometimes we train with only our instructors; other times we train with the Space X (MCC-X) and Houston (MCC-H) control center teams – mission director, “core”/“capcom”, systems engineers, etc. -> everyone who will be behind console on the day of the event! It is fascinating to see everyone working together. 🤩 One class with Don Pettit in the full scale ISS mockup. Thank you so much, @astro_Pettit, for sharing all your tips & tricks. It’s a privilege to learn from an astronaut with so much experience! ✅ Remote training with @JAXA_en teams to ensure we can work efficiently in Kibo, the Japanese module onboard the ISS. We refreshed our memory on some procedures, and deepened our understanding of some experiments. 🩺 Medical emergencies: we rehearsed key procedures. Practice is key should any medical issues arise. I also did another blood draw on myself! 📷 SpaceX/NASA/ESA: with my amazing commander @Astro_Jessica 🤩🤗 #εpsilon #crew12
