Underwater habitats used to train astronauts for space isolation

Space.com has profiled analog astronaut programs that use underwater habitats to rehearse the conditions of long-duration space missions before anyone leaves Earth. Participants experience isolation, confinement and simulated communication delays similar to those faced on missions to the Moon or Mars. The feature highlights how these environments serve as accessible, demanding training grounds for future spaceflight crews.

Why now: Growing public interest in astronaut training methods ahead of renewed Moon and Mars mission planning
