<p>Astronaut training describes the complex process of preparing <a href="/facts/Astronauts/HB1bd6Lz">astronauts</a> in regions around the world for their space missions before, during and after the flight, which includes medical tests, physical training, <a href="/facts/Extra-vehicular_activity/udj91j1E">extra-vehicular activity</a> (EVA) training, wilderness survival training , water survival training , robotics training , procedure training, rehabilitation process, as well as training on experiments they will perform during their stay in space.
</p><p>Virtual and physical training facilities have been integrated to familiarize astronauts with the conditions they will encounter during all phases of flight and prepare astronauts for a microgravity environment. Special considerations must be made during training to ensure a safe and successful mission, which is why the <a href="/facts/List_of_Apollo_astronauts/nXReWvNK">Apollo astronauts</a> received training for geology field work on the <a href="/facts/Lunar_surface/vhIu0V7k">Lunar surface</a> and why research is being conducted on best practices for future extended missions, such as the trip to Mars.
