How do astronauts and cosmonauts combat the degenerative effects of microgravity experienced on the International Space Station?
excersising 2 hours a day
How many g's during Apollo?
During Apollo missions, astronauts experienced forces of up to 4–5 times Earth's gravity (4-5 G's) during launch and re-entry, while in a sitting position. At other times, such as in microgravity during orbit, they experienced weightlessness.
Is there gravity on the space station?
Yes, there is gravity on the International Space Station (ISS), but it is not due to the station being in Earth's orbit. The sensation of weightlessness experienced by astronauts aboard the ISS is because they are in a state of constant free fall towards Earth, creating the effect of microgravity.
How do astronauts occupy their leisure time?
They Play around with microgravity
What layer of the atmosphere is the working station for astronauts?
Astronauts work in space, which is beyond Earth's atmosphere. There is no fixed layer of the atmosphere where astronauts work. They operate in space stations or spacecraft outside of the Earth's atmosphere where they experience microgravity.
Why can a shuttle provide microgravity only after it achieves orbit?
A shuttle can provide microgravity only after it achieves orbit because microgravity conditions are created when the shuttle and its occupants are in free fall around the Earth. At this point, the shuttle is traveling at a high speed tangentially to the Earth’s surface, creating a continuous state of free fall that counteracts gravitational forces. This state allows astronauts to experience weightlessness, as they are falling at the same rate as the shuttle itself. Before reaching orbit, the shuttle is still subject to the full effects of gravity while ascending.
What are 3 tasks a space shuttle can perform?
NASA has used space shuttles to perform many important tasks. These include taking satellites into orbit, repairing damaged satellites, and carrying astronauts and equipment to and from space stations.
How was Dr.Ride's sleep affected when she first went into orbit?
When Dr. Sally Ride first went into orbit as part of the Space Shuttle Challenger mission in 1983, she experienced significant changes in her sleep patterns due to the microgravity environment. Astronauts often struggle with sleep due to factors such as the lack of a natural day-night cycle, the discomfort of sleeping in a confined space, and the excitement and stress of the mission. Ride reported difficulty settling into a regular sleep routine during her initial days in space, which is a common challenge for many astronauts.
Are astronauts weightless in a space shuttle during the launch?
During the launch, astronauts in a space shuttle experience a sensation of weightlessness for a short period due to the force of gravity being canceled out by the acceleration of the shuttle. However, this weightlessness is not the same as the zero gravity experienced in orbit, as it is a result of the shuttle's motion rather than being in a true microgravity environment.
What are the release dates for The Daily Orbit - 2012 Microgravity Affects the Immune System 1-165?

What is the dress of astronauts called?
The dress of astronauts is called a spacesuit. It is a specialized garment designed to protect astronauts from the harsh conditions of space, including temperature extremes, microgravity, and lack of atmosphere.
What bests describes the effect of microgravity on an astronauts bone health?
Prolonged bed rest, massive weakness.
