Mohammed Al Mulla, 34, was seen in an extravehicular mobility unit – suits astronauts wear during a spacewalk – in photos he published on his Twitter account on Saturday.
Astronauts-in-training wear these heavy suits and perform tasks in a pool filled with 2.3 million litres of water at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory.
The NBL pool is 12 metres deep and helps simulate microgravity, allowing trainees to work on a replica of the space station placed underwater.
