Caving Luca

ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano gives a thumbs-up despite being stuck between a rock and a hard place during training for a week he will spend underground on ESA’s 2014 CAVES training course.

CAVES – short for Cooperative Adventure for Valuing and Exercising human behaviour and performance Skills – offers astronauts, trainers and planners a chance to test space-like procedures while exploring uncharted caverns in new environments.
