Is Skylab a space station space probe or a space shuttle?
Skylab was the precursor of the present International Space Station. It was a space station launched by NASA on May 14, 1973, and remained in orbit until July 11, 1979.
What mission was to find out how conditions in space affected people on earth?
nasa space station
How are conditions on the International space station different from on earth?
weightlessness
Why space station is important?
The reason why space station are that important is because humans body normally can't live in space. There are different factors that when in space can affect humans body and space station or spacecraft's role is to support humans to remain in space for a period of time.
Does a space station carry humans?
Yes, a space station will support humans. It does now; the International Space Station has a varying crew of from 3-5 people. Previous space stations such as the two Soviet Mir stations and the old NASA Skylab station all had human crews.
What are the conditions that must be present in a space station in order to support life?
For supporting life in a space station, key conditions include providing a controlled atmosphere with sufficient oxygen levels, maintaining steady temperature and humidity, ensuring a supply of fresh water and proper waste management, shielding against harmful radiation, and creating artificial gravity or countermeasures to prevent bone and muscle loss due to microgravity. Additionally, access to nutritious food, medical supplies, and a means for communication with Earth are crucial for the well-being of astronauts.
How does a space station work?
A space station is a large spacecraft that orbits Earth and serves as a living and working space for astronauts. It is powered by solar panels, receives supplies from spacecraft, and has systems for life support, communication, and research activities. Astronauts onboard conduct experiments, maintain the station, and perform scientific research in microgravity conditions.
What is the name of the joint space station that circles the earth at present?
The joint space station currently orbiting Earth is called the International Space Station (ISS). It is a collaborative project involving space agencies from multiple countries, including NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), ESA (Europe), JAXA (Japan), and CSA (Canada).
What is a large artificial satellite in which people can live for long periods?
A large artificial satellite in which people can live for long periods is known as a space station. Space stations are designed to support human life in the harsh environment of space by providing living quarters, workspaces, and facilities for research and experimentation. Examples of space stations include the International Space Station (ISS) and the planned Chinese Space Station.
What metal is the space station made from?
The International Space Station (ISS) is primarily made from aluminum and stainless steel due to their strength, durability, and ability to withstand the harsh conditions of space. These metals provide the necessary structural support for the spacecraft.
How many people can be on the space station?
Currently, 6 people can live and work on the international space station, limited by the available seats on the docked Soyuz spaceships which serve as lifeboats in case of an emergency. The station can support more people for short periods of time, such as when a space shuttle visited.
