The astronaut crews of the International Space Station (ISS) play a crucial role in advancing scientific research and technological development in microgravity. They conduct experiments across various fields, including Biology, physics, and materials science, which can lead to breakthroughs beneficial for life on Earth and future space exploration. Additionally, these crews foster international collaboration, bringing together scientists and engineers from multiple countries to work towards common goals in space. Their presence also helps to maintain and operate the ISS, ensuring it remains a hub for research and innovation.
Could be 'Discovery' or 'Endeavour' - both are space shuttles that have visited the International Space Station.
An astronaut is a commander, pilot, or a crew member of a spacecraft. In Russia an astronaut is known as a cosmonaut.
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.
An astronaut goes to space by training and being selected by a space agency such as NASA. They then travel to space onboard a spacecraft, such as the Russian Soyuz or the SpaceX Dragon, which launches from Earth to transport them to the International Space Station or other space destinations.
Chris Hadfield is a retired astronaut who served as the commander of the International Space Station (ISS) during his mission in 2013. He has since completed his time on the ISS and is no longer an active astronaut. Therefore, he is not currently at the ISS. His notable contributions to space exploration and science communication have continued to inspire many even after his retirement.
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).
An astronaut goes to space by training and being selected by a space agency such as NASA. They then travel to space onboard a spacecraft, such as the Russian Soyuz or the SpaceX Dragon, which launches from Earth to transport them to the International Space Station or other space destinations.
