Namira Salim’s Training
Earlier, Namira Salim said in a statement that she along with other astronauts were undergoing training.
On the first day of training, Namira and other astronauts had learned about fitting spacesuits and parachutes to perfection.
She said that they are also trained about the functionality of their custom-made seats in the spaceship and how to fasten and unfasten the seat belts so they can leave their seats in zero gravity well-oriented and take the necessary measures to maximize their experience in space.
