Caption: NEEMO-9 astronaut/aquanaut Nicole P. Stott and University of Cincinnati physician Tim Broderick perform survey and mapping activities to record the coordinates of landmarks of interest within a 150-foot radius of Aquarius during an EVA. Throughout the mission, NSBRI researchers used the under-sea experience as a model for studying performance ability, problem-solving and team cohesion issues that could affect long-duration space flights.
