02 / Beyond the dive

Think as a crew.
Work as a crew.

An EVA—extravehicular activity—is work outside a spacecraft. This underwater analog gives you a hands-on setting to practise the coordination that work demands.

Communicate with purpose.

Practise clear crew-to-ground communication and CAPCOM procedures, connecting the people at the worksite with Mission Control.

Make the plan work.

Turn a mission objective into a sequence of tasks. Coordinate tools, movement and decisions with your crewmate.

Learn through the debrief.

Explore Crew Resource Management: how teams share information, manage workload and review decisions under pressure.
