CSA astronaut David Saint-Jacques takes part in water survival training

2017-06-29 – In June 2017, David Saint-Jacques was in Russia for water survival training.

At the end of their mission, astronauts return to Earth at a designated location in the steppes of Kazakhstan. However, in the event of a deviation from the intended trajectory, they must be prepared to survive in remote environments like the sea while they wait for the ground crew to reach them.
