Why do you have spacewalks?

Spacewalks are necessary for astronauts to perform maintenance, repairs, and installations on the exterior of the spacecraft or space station. They are also used for conducting scientific experiments and testing new equipment in the space environment. Spacewalks are essential for the success of long-duration space missions.


How was the ISS was made?

The ISS was constructed in segments and flown up into space, astronauts would connct the segments of the ISS by going on space walks to attach them together. The segments were constructed in the Kennedy Space Centre in Orlando, Florida.


How does the space shuttle program differ from earlier space mission projects?

in a nutshell, the earlier space missions were to break the barrier of what we didnt know about space in general. sputnik, Apollo, Gemini, etc. they were all the 'first to be' if you will. space walks, landing on the moon, proving the u.s. could be the Russians to the moon, etc. nowadays, its more of branching off to what we already know. but, mainly to put satellites in orbit, getting better pictures of dopplar radar, mars, clusters, further images of space, hence the hubble. but again, the difference of today as opposed to then is less "pushing the envelope" and more of enhancing and branching off into tangets of what we already pushed prior!


Who was the astronaut lost in space during a space walk?

To my knowledge among US astronauts- there was never a fatal accident as the result of a space walk, which is a super-risky encounter. There were problems with the so-called Zip-guns in maneuvering in zero G while doing Space walks- but to my knowledge no fatal accidents, at least among NASA astros. There have been problems as stated- only late in the Gemini program did we achieve ( First Trouble-Free space walk( and philatelic covers heralded this event.


Do astronauts eat and drink during their space walks?

They eat while inside the space station or shuttle. Bars used to be positioned inside the spacesuit where the astronaut could take a bite at will, but they are no longer used as astronauts preferred to eat later. They do however have a drink bag and tube from which they can suck water. Spacewalks last up to seven hours and astronauts work hard during this time, so it is essential that they drink.

What was the planet that STS-102 did it's space walks on?

None of the space shuttles can travel to another planet, or even to the moon. They are only ever in earth orbit. STS-102 was a mission to the International Space Station and included two space walks outside of the station to assemble the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM)as part of the U.S.Destiny Laboratory Module.

Why are there no stars on space walks?

How do astronauts get oxygen in space?

Astronauts bring tanks of oxygen with them when they go into space. The space suits they use to make space walks also have small oxygen tanks on them.

To provide a pressurized environment and oxygen to keep the astronauts alive, as well as regulating temperature.
