Mission X Train Like An Astronaut

Se realizó a los estudiantes de los grados 9,10 y 11 del Colegio Padre Manyanet Bogotá una prueba de resistencia aeróbica. La prueba consiste en recorrer la mayor distancia posible en un lapso de 60 minutos, desplazarse a un ritmo constante y no detenerse durante el recorrido.
Se relaciona con el proyecto de Misión X puesto que los Astronautas deben tener una buena capacidad de resistencia y este entrenamiento va a mejorar la capacidad física.

Students and teachers took their astronaut training to a new level with a visit to the man-carrying centrifuge facility at QinetiQ in Farnborough on Tuesday 3 June 2014.

Students from two schools – Banbury Space Studio School, Oxfordshire and St Andrews and St Marks Primary School in Kingston visited the specialist facility, unique in the UK, which is used to prepare fighter pilots and astronauts for the high G forces of air combat and launch/re-entry. During their visit students witnessed the physiological effects of the Earth’s gravity in the laboratory and could see how such effects become problematic at the higher levels of ‘gravity’ experienced when the human body is exposed to acceleration. Man-carrying centrifuges were made famous in the Moonraker film when James Bond was nearly tested to destruction.
