Aside from training, Onishi had an opportunity to visit RSC Energia, the Soyuz spacecraft developer, and was able check out the actual spacecraft he would be aboard. He also visited NPP Zvezda, the manufacturer of Sokol spacesuits, to check the functions of his custom-made spacesuit.
ഀHe also visited a facility equipped with the depressurization function where he practiced opening and closing hatches to identify any air-leaking points in the ISS Russian segment in an actual depressurized environment.
ഀAt the JSC, Onishi underwent training for Extravehicular Activity (EVA) to simulate maintenance operations for exposed equipment installed on the exterior of the ISS. Onishi also trained on how to obtain his own medical data for onboard medical experiments, and practiced hardware operations to be used for experiments.
