Turkish-born NASA astronaut Deniz Burnham continues her preparations for space travel

On her social media account, Burnham included images of her ongoing training at NASA for "Expedition 76", a long-term mission to be carried out on the International Space Station (ISS).

Adana-born NASA astronaut Burnham wrote under the photos and videos he shared, "These images are from my SAFER (Simplified Assistive System for Rescue in Non-Spacecraft Activities) qualification attempt, where I had to prove that I could successfully perform a self-rescue process. After completing the qualification process, my instructor added a few additional rescue scenarios that were really interesting and challenging to work on." He included his statements.

Burnham, who was observed in the video footage to have the experience of taking a spacewalk on the outer surface of a spacecraft thanks to the VR glasses she wore, also tested some of the hand tools she would need to use during space travel.

In the photos shared by Burnham, it was seen that she went through intense tests and simulation training with NASA trainers.

In the information made on the social media account of NASA's Johnson Space Center in Texas, it was stated that on Burnham's first space journey in March 2027, she will help prepare people for future exploration missions to the Moon and Mars and "will manage scientific research and technology training that will benefit people on Earth."
