(English proverb). Tree would bend when it bears fruit. (Azerbaijani proverb). Over a long distance, you learn about the strength of your horse; over a long time, you learn about the character of your friend. (Chinese proverb).
For these types of missions the training to prepare astronauts will likely include training as doctors, scientists, engineers, technicians, pilots, and geologists. In addition there will be a focus on the psychological aspects of long-duration missions where crew is largely isolated.ncrement-Specific Training starts only after an astronaut has been assigned to a flight. This phase lasts 18 months and prepares them for their role on their assigned mission. During this phase crewmembers as well as backup crews will train together.
So how do you become an astronaut and what qualifications and qualities do you need? Space agencies are looking for the best people possible. Training an astronaut is a considerable investment for any agency; training is lengthy and expensive, and the support needed both before and during a space mission is costly. It takes years to organise a space mission and altogether hundreds of people are involved in preparing the astronauts and the spacecraft.
