Four astronauts who will be living 62 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean will be available to answer that question and more during satellite interviews from inside an underwater habitat from 8 to 8:45 a m EDT Wednesday, July 23

The crew members of the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) 18 project, which begins Monday, July 21, will test technologies and training techniques for use aboard the International Space Station and long-duration exploration missions Mission objectives will focus on behavioral health and performance, human health issues, and habitability

Astronaut Akihiko Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency will command the NEEMO 18 mission aboard the Aquarius laboratory He will be joined by NASA astronauts Jeanette Epps and Mark Vande Hei and European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet

The NEEMO crew, along with two professional habitat technicians, will conduct this mission in Florida International University�s undersea research habitat Aquarius Reef Base, located about 6 miles off the coast of Key Largo, Florida

To participate in the interviews, contact producer Karen Svetaka at 281-483-8684 or karen a svetaka@nasa gov by 3 p m Tuesday, July 22
