NASA are conducting a mock space mission by sending astronauts to live and work in an undersea science station.
The experiment is designed to emulate some of the conditions astronauts might experience if they were to live and work in a station located on another planet and will provide invaluable results for use on future space missions.
Two astronauts, a veteran undersea engineer and an experienced scientist will soon find themselves in the ocean depths off the east coast of Florida in a mock space mission to test exploration concepts and learn more about working in an unforgiving, treacherous environment.
