Why are astronauts unable to taste their food while eating in zero-gravity conditions?
Being able to smell the scent of food is what makes it tasty. Because of the low gravity in space, however, the scent of the food floats away before it reaches an astronaut's nose. Also, in space, liquid rises, and the mucus in an astronaut's nose rises, as well, giving the astronaut a permanently stuffed nose. Thus making astronauts unable to smell and therefore unable to taste the food they're eating.
How astronauts spend their time in the space ship?
astronauts like to exercise while in the ship
What is the name of the space sickness that many astronauts get while in space?
Space Adaptation Syndrome
Do astronauts leave the ISS while in outer space?
no
Why do astronauts need to exercise while they are in the space station?
In a zero gee environment (weightlessness), the Human Body almost immediately begins losing muscle and bone mass. If they did not exercise, Astronauts returning from Space after a long stay on the Space Station would be unable to walk, and would have to be in a wheelchair for weeks before they could learn to walk again.
What do people use as a shower in space?
Astronauts do not shower, they must sponge bath while they are in space.
Name three types of special equipment astronauts need to work in space?
Space suits: to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures, micrometeoroids, and provide oxygen. Extravehicular Mobility Units (EMUs): for spacewalks to enable astronauts to move and work outside the spacecraft. Tether systems: to keep astronauts connected to the spacecraft while working in space.
How can astronauts perform their space walk and move around as if nothing while the space station is traveling at 17500 mph?
Astronauts can perform their space walk and move around as if nothing is happening while the space station is traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, because there is no gravity. This keeps them from feeling the fast speed.
Do the astronauts need special clothes while living and working inside the space station?
Yes, astronauts wear specialized clothing while living and working inside the space station. They wear comfortable clothes for daily activities and special space suits for spacewalks or emergencies. These suits provide protection from extreme temperatures, radiation, and microgravity conditions.
Do astronauts need to have a passport while in space?
No , but for astronauts visiting from other nations they do need passports to travel to the respective countries who are launching them into space e.g. the U.S. , Russia .
How are the astronauts supplied with oxygen while there are in space?
with bottles in the backpack of the astronaut. Actualy that was a stupid question...
Is a space station the same as a space shuttle?
No, a space station is a large artificial structure in space where astronauts live and work for extended periods of time, while a space shuttle is a spacecraft that is used to transport astronauts and cargo to and from space. Space shuttles have been retired by NASA, while space stations like the ISS are still operational.
