Do astronauts need to wash dishes and laundry?
Yes, astronauts need to wash dishes and do laundry while in space, although the process is different from on Earth. They use specially designed cleaning supplies and methods to manage waste, as water is limited. Dishes are often cleaned with sanitizing wipes, and laundry is typically not done in space; instead, astronauts wear their clothes for several days before disposing of them.
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 DO ASTRONAUTS DO THERE LAUNDRY?
Astronauts do not do laundry in space like we do on Earth. Instead, they wear their clothing for several days and then dispose of them when they become too dirty or odorous, as washing clothes in microgravity is impractical. The used clothing is packed into trash bags and sent back to Earth in supply spacecraft, which burn up upon re-entry. This system helps manage waste while ensuring astronauts have clean clothing for their missions.
How do you wash clothes in outer space?
In space, astronauts use a special machine called a space laundry that uses airflow to push dirt and moisture away from clothing. Water is not used in the process, to prevent the formation of dangerous floating droplets. The clothes are then dried using a vacuum and heat.
Why do astronauts need helmets in space?
Astronauts need helmets in space primarily to provide life support by supplying oxygen and regulating temperature. Helmets also protect against the vacuum of space, which can cause bodily harm due to lack of pressure. Additionally, they shield astronauts from harmful radiation and micrometeoroids. Finally, the helmet's visor helps protect their eyes from intense sunlight and glare in the space environment.
