The European Astronaut Centre (EAC) is a training and medical support facility operated by the European Space Agency. Located in Cologne, Germany, it prepares astronauts for missions to the International Space Station and beyond. The centre houses specialized simulators, neutral buoyancy facilities, and medical teams dedicated to crew health and mission readiness.
