The NASA team a doctor, a nutritionist, an engineer and a psychologist – have a wealth of experience of space missions. They’re used to helping astronauts cope with extreme conditions and months of solitude

The miners they’re here to help are gaining in strength. Later they’re due to eat their first hot meal in 26 days. Until now, medics have been giving them high protein drinks and dietary supplements

New video footage of the men was shown on Chilean state television on Tuesday. They seemed healthier and more cheerful than in previous videos

The company that owns the mine has asked for forgiveness from the miners relatives, many of whom have accused it of ignoring safety guidelines. The firm denies the accusations, but described the unfolding drama at the San Jose mine as – a terrible situation

While the rescuers attempt to drill down to the men, there’s also concern for their colleagues up above, who were fortunate enough to escape the rock collapse, but who haven’t been able to work for nearly a month

The company paid their wages until the end of August, but is rumoured to be on the verge of bankruptcy. The government says its helping the miners to find new jobs
