Four HUNOR astronaut candidates complete training program

Four astronaut candidates in the Hungarian to Orbit (HUNOR) program have successfully completed a six-day isolation training session. During the training, the four candidates were placed in isolation in a 48-square-meter container with conditions similar to the International Space Station. They had to undertake simulated tasks like the ones they would in space, such as conducting experiments while carrying on with everyday routines. The simulation also included emergency situations that required split-second decisions. The candidates’ mental states and responses to lack of sleep and stress situations were gauged during the training session.
