They weren't weightless. They weighed 1/6 as much as they weighed on Earth. They were carrying backpacks that weighed about 80 pounds on earth. They compensated for the extra weight on their backs by leaning forward to keep their center of gravity centered above their feet so they wouldn't fall over.
What else can I help you with?
What is the cord used to keep astronauts from floating into space?
The answer is an umbilical cord. It keeps astronauts from floating out into the universe.
Do astronauts wear space suites to protect themselves from sun rays or are used for oxygen?
yes. the space suit does protect astronauts for harmful rays from the sun
What is the name of a workshop in space where astronauts can carry out experiments?
Spacelab ( not used now) and Columbus.
Why do Astronauts have to be very fit before going into space?
Why have scientists developed exercises for astronauts living in outer space for long periods of time? Due to lack of gravitational field all the systms of the body but especially the musculoskeletal system is affected, in terms of bone resorption. To mninimize the effects of zero gravity exercises are developed.
What did astronauts use silly putty for?
Silly putty was used by astronauts to stop their tools from flying around the spacecraft/shuttle, whilst they were in space. This is because there is no gravity in space, which means that everything will float about the vehicle, and not fall to the floor.
How is the space shuttle used?
it is used to take astronauts and cargo into space
Why should astronauts train in the vomit comet?
The Modified B-707 (or K/C-135) used for low gravity training, (astronauts, etc.). It flew a paraboloic curve that simulated weightlessness.
Spacecraft used to transport astronauts into space?
space shuttle
How do the astronauts train for a space mission to the International Space Station?
Astronauts train for a space mission to the International Space Station by undergoing simulations of spacewalks, living in confined spaces, using the station's robotic arm, operating spacecraft systems, and conducting scientific experiments. They also train in underwater environments to simulate the weightlessness of space and work closely with their crewmates to prepare for the mission.
What is the cord used to keep astronauts from floating into space?
The answer is an umbilical cord. It keeps astronauts from floating out into the universe.
Can you get into space by space shuttle?
Yes, the space shuttle was a spacecraft used by NASA to send astronauts and cargo into space. The space shuttle program ended in 2011. Today, different spacecraft, such as SpaceX's Crew Dragon and Boeing's Starliner, are used to transport astronauts to space.
How do astronauts get used to be in space with no gravity?
Practice and lots of trips.
What is a workshop in space where astronauts can carry out experiments in space?
Spacelab ( not used now) and Columbus.
What did astronauts use to get to earth from space?
they used a module that carried them back
What is used in a space suit to keep astronauts on the moon?
gravity and oxygen
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.
What are the three methods used by humans in space?
The three methods used by humans in space are spacecraft, space stations, and spacesuits. Spacecraft are vehicles used to transport humans to and from space. Space stations are habitable artificial structures where astronauts live and work for extended periods. Spacesuits are wearable garments designed to protect astronauts from the harsh conditions of space.
