UAE astronauts Hazzaa Al Mansoori and Sultan Al Neyadi are preparing for their future space missions at Nasa's Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas.

In a video released by the Dubai Media Office, the two men are seen learning how to spacewalk at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL).

The facility features a large indoor pool that's designed to provide neutral buoyancy to simulate microgravity.
