Have you ever imagined the life in space? The
following will show you the astronauts' daily life.
Eating in space
If you go camping
for more than a week with some friends,
you will make sure you have plenty of
foods and keep them properly. At the end of your camping trip, you would deal with your rubbish properly
before the ride home.
Astronauts almost do the same thing when they
go to space. Preparation changes with the food type. Some foods can be eaten in
their natural forms, such as chocolate cakes and fruits. Other foods require
adding water, such as cheese. Of course, an oven is provided at the space
station to heat the food. But there are no fridges, so space food must be kept
properly.
Sleeping in space
After a long day at work, nothing is better
than a good night's sleep! Just like
on the earth, in space astronauts go to bed at a certain time, then get up and prepare for work again. When going
to sleep, they have to attach themselves, so they don't float (漂浮) around or
hit their bodies against something. They usually use sleeping bags
located in small crew cabins (乘员舱). Each
crew cabin is just big enough for one person. Generally, astronauts have an
eight-hour sleep each day when they
finish their task.
Doing sports in space
Exercise is an important part of every
astronaut's daily life to prevent muscle loss (肌肉萎缩).
Usually, astronauts exercise two hours every day. Lifting 200 pounds on the
earth may be a lot of work. But lifting that same object in space would be much
easier. That means the things for exercise need to be specially designed, so
astronauts can receive the exercise needed.
Living in space is not just all work and no
play. Astronauts have fun, too. They like to look out the window and play with
their food. Fun plays an important role in the quality of their life.
