How much would you weigh on the International Space Station?

On the International Space Station, you would experience microgravity, so your weight would be significantly less compared to Earth. Astronauts on the ISS feel weightless because they are falling towards Earth as fast as the station itself.


Does a space station carry people?

Yes, a space station can carry people. Space stations like the International Space Station (ISS) serve as habitable artificial satellites in space where astronauts live and work for extended periods of time conducting scientific research and experiments.


How do the astronauts keep warm in the space station?

Astronauts on the space station have a controlled climate with heating systems to regulate temperature. They also wear special clothing that helps to maintain their body heat. Additionally, the station has insulation to minimize heat loss.


What are the roles of the space shuttle and the space station in the space program?

The ISS and shuttle programs were designed as a stepping stone to interplanetary travel. The programs test the ability of humans to endure long periods of exposure to living in space and conduct experiments on long term affects of space travel. Space travel to other planets would be best initiated outside the earths atmosphere and the Space Shuttle, as the name implies is the vehicle designed to transcend earth's atmosphere with equipment, supplies and astronauts.


What would happen if you tried to light matches in the International Space Station?

Think. When you light a match. fire occurs. For fire to breath it needs oxygen(air).Is there oxygen in the International Space Station? Is the International Space Station in space? Is there air in Space? If you look at the pictures of the interior if the ISS, the astronauts do not wear oxtgen masks, so yes, there must be oxygen in the ISS, and therefore matches should light. What i want to know is that because of the lack of gravity, does the flame extend in all directions, or does the hot air (i.e. flame) still rise as on earth?

What would it be like to work in the International Space Station?

Great


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.


Can you get lost in a space station?

Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.


What happens once the space shuttle orbiter reaches space?

When the orbiter of the space shuttle reaches space. it mainly performs its mission tasks. Before year 2000 space shuttles were mainly, not necessarily, used for taking cargo into space such as satellites and especially the Hubble Space Telescope. After the start of the International Space Station Program, Space shuttles were mainly used for building the space station in space. when orbiters reached space, they would usually deploy their cargo and astronauts would carry out the required procedure. the space shuttles usually docked with space station and returned to earth after the completion of mission

Is International Space Station consider deep space?

No, not even close. Deep space would be well outside the solar system.

Who designed the NASA space station?

No single person designs a space station, or any large and complex machine nowadays. A NASA space station would be designed by a team commissioned by NASA. The ISS is an international undertaking.


Where can one find images of the Earth taken from the International Space Station?

There are many different places one might go to locate images of Earth taken from the International Space Station. One of the best resources would be the official Space website.
