Four astronauts. One mission. Underground 👨‍🚀👩‍🚀👨‍🚀👨‍🚀

Deep in the Italian Apennines, an international crew — @astrojaws (@nasa), Makoto Suwa (@jaxajp), @astro_almulla (@mbrspacecentre) and @esaastro_marco — took part in our CAVES training.

For four days, they lived and worked together in total isolation, exploring a 3.5-km-long cave system, mapping and sampling in complete darkness.

Each task demanded teamwork. Each step relied on trust.

From overcoming 20-metre drops to finding new paths through the unknown, every move mirrored the cooperation needed in space.

Because in exploration - whether underground or in orbit - no one goes alone.
