Crew assembly training

Astronauts are required to put many objects and devices together as part of their missions. Some of those are small objects that astronauts must manipulate during their stay at the International Space Station (ISS).

In this activity, teams of students will assemble a puzzle as quickly and correctly as possible, to demonstrate the importance of dexterity and hand-to-eye coordination and to improve their communication and problem-solving skills.
