Today, Rosemary Coogan is showing us how she’s preparing for space with a parabolic flight.

For 22 seconds during each parabola, astronauts experience weightlessness. This allows them to practice the skills they’ll one day need in a microgravity environment.

Floating around may look fun, but it’s only a very small part of their rigorous and complex training. Want to see more of what astronauts do to prepare for space? Let us know if you’d like a sneak peek into other parts of training!
