How do astronauts keep warm?
Astronauts on space missions use special heating systems in their spacesuits to regulate their temperature. These systems can generate heat to keep astronauts warm in the cold vacuum of space. Additionally, the spacesuits themselves are insulated to retain body heat and prevent it from escaping into 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.
Do astronauts need to do laundry in space?
Yes, astronauts do need to do laundry in space. They typically wear their clothes multiple times before changing them and then use specialized equipment like a space washing machine to clean their clothes. Water is recycled and used for laundry to conserve resources on the space station.
How many astronauts are on the space station?
The number of astronauts on the space station can vary, but typically there are 6 astronauts on board the International Space Station at a time.
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.
Was gloves and boots used for a mission and which one?
Gloves and boots are used for each and every mission in which astronauts are in space or on the moon. They are integral to any closed space suit. Without them astronauts would subjected to the vacuum of space and die almost instantly.
Why are space gloves important?
Space gloves are essential for astronauts as they protect their hands from the harsh conditions of space, including extreme temperatures, vacuum, and micrometeoroids. They provide dexterity and grip, allowing astronauts to perform intricate tasks while wearing bulky spacesuits. Additionally, these gloves are designed to maintain pressure and offer insulation, ensuring the safety and functionality of astronauts during extravehicular activities (EVAs). Overall, space gloves are a critical component of space suits that enable safe and effective operations in the outer space environment.
Why can't astronauts take their gloves off on the moon?
Because you need turpentine to remove moon dust should the astronauts get it on their hands.
How will astronauts get oxygen out of space?
They need to take it with them. There is no oxygen in space

What do astronauts need to survive in space?
food, water, shelter
What do astronauts need when walking in space?
I am not sure, ask NASA
Why do you have space food?
You need space food to give nutrition to astronauts. They need energy to perform tasks thus need food.
Why do astronauts need rigorous exercise in space?
their suits are very heavy.
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 .
Astronauts are--who fly in space?
Astronauts are people who fly in space
What types of astronauts are there on a space mission?
trained space astronauts
