ESA astronaut\u00a0Luca Parmitano<\/a>\u00a0is gearing up for his second mission to the International Space Station in 2019 on a\u00a0Russian Soyuz spacecraft<\/a>. All astronauts who fly on Soyuz do a winter survival course in the forests near Star City, Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Soyuz\u00a0lands on Earth<\/a>\u00a0support teams are usually at hand within minutes to help the astronauts out, but there is always the possibility that the capsule lands in a remote, cold area. As part of their normal training, astronauts learn to survive in harsh climates while waiting for rescue.<\/span><\/p>\n

The course includes getting out of Soyuz unaided, changing from spacesuits into more winter-friendly garments, signalling for help (as pictured here), building a shelter out of wood and the capsule\u2019s parachute, building a fire and providing first aid.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
