Currently, the commanding astronaut aboard the International Space Station is Kevin Ford. Astronaut Ford is accompanied by fellow American Tom Marshburn, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, and Russian astronauts Oleg Novitskiy, Roman Romanenko, and Evgeny Tarelkin.
Generally an astronaut or cosmonaut living aboard the International Space Station on a long duration space flight will stay for about 6 months.
If he is aboard something that's in Earth-orbit, like the International Space Station or the Space Shuttle, then Earth's gravity is what's keeping him in orbit.
Yes the international space station is in the tropsphere
what International Space Station is the first fully functioning space station to orbit the earth.
The mass of an astronaut does not change when she is visiting the International Space Station. Mass is a property that does not change, but the weight of a person does change in space.

No you have to be at least 18 lisenced and an astronaut or scientist
Currently, the commanding astronaut aboard the International Space Station is Kevin Ford. Astronaut Ford is accompanied by fellow American Tom Marshburn, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, and Russian astronauts Oleg Novitskiy, Roman Romanenko, and Evgeny Tarelkin.
This depends upon where the astronaut is. Inside the International Space Station, astronauts usually wear light, informal clothing. If the astronaut exits the station to do a space walk or other such mission, the astronaut will wear an air tight space suit, in order to be able to continue breathing.
Two ways of going to the International Space Station Would be to become a professional astronaut / cosmonaut or to be a space tourist (you need to be able to pay about 30 millions dollars and pass a multitude of physicals and the 6 to 8 month cosmonaut training is Russias Star City).
an astronaut is someone that goes up in to space
The only place to go in space today is the International Space Station (ISS) which is in Low Earth Orbit (about 200 miles up).
Generally an astronaut or cosmonaut living aboard the International Space Station on a long duration space flight will stay for about 6 months.
It actually means that the astronaut is in free fall, and doesn't FEEL gravity. Gravity does affect the astronaut, so the astronaut will still be accelerated towards Earth. However, the astronaut won't feel the gravity.
False. The astronaut will stay in orbit with the space station on less some force acts on him or her.
