Training for emergencies

This image of NASA astronaut Richard Arnold, Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Prokopyev and ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst, shows how the Space Station crew trains for emergencies and was shared on Alexander's social media channels on 2 August 2018.

Alexander said "What looks like the preparation for a bank robbery is actually training for emergencies like a fire or a toxic atmosphere. Living on a space station requires staying vigilant at all times."
