 Neutral Buoyancy is one of the most effective means of simulating the extra-vehicular activity conditions. This method is based on putting space modules, vehicles and EVA-suit donned cosmonauts in the swimming pool under conditions of neutral buoyancy, indifferent equilibrium and unsupported state.
 In «Hydrospace » you can experience feelings of an astronaut, working in outer space with the EVA-suit on. You can also dive into the swimming pool with the SCUBA equipment in order to examine the mock-ups of space stations and vehicles and pass a course of rehabilitation in a hyperbaric oxygenation complex. In addition you can do photo- and video-shooting of the EVA operations, using a unique high-quality equipment of the neutral buoyancy laboratory, as well as to realize a wide range of advertising, promotional and popular scientific projects.
The «Hydrospace» program is a unique complex of engineering facilities and is intended for training cosmonauts for their operations in outer space. This new aspect of technological activity is carried out under conditions, which are playing a conflicting role to the conditions both of the human being's and human civilization development.
The Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory includes:
- A swimming pool;
- A mock-up of the «Orlan-M»
- Space engineering and equipment mock-ups;
- Lifting machinery complex;
- Air- and water supply systems complex;
- SCUBA equipment and harness;
- PDK-2U decompression chamber, which simulates underwater submersion down to 100 m (10 atmospheres);
- Hyperbaric oxygenation complex;
- Video- and telemetry monitoring and processing complex;
- Lighting systems;
