Astronauts

The first Russian spacewalk was conducted by cosmonaut Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov on March 18, 1965, during the Voskhod 2 mission. Leonov spent 12 minutes outside the spacecraft, becoming the first person to perform a spacewalk.

Moon boots worn by astronauts on the moon weighed about 2.5 pounds each. The boots were specially designed to provide traction, support, and protection for astronauts while navigating the lunar surface.

Astronauts store their food in specially designed packages, such as pouches or cans, that are sealed to prevent leaks and preserve freshness. The food is often dehydrated or freeze-dried to reduce weight and volume. Some items may require rehydration using recycled water aboard the spacecraft before consumption.

There were three astronauts on the Apollo program to allow for a balance of skills and responsibilities during space missions. This setup helped ensure that tasks could be efficiently carried out, and also provided backup support in case of any emergency situations.

In 1969 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon.

The typical age range to become an astronaut is between 26 and 46 years old, although exceptions can be made based on experience and qualifications.

Satellites have a typical operational lifespan of 5 to 15 years, after which their fuel is exhausted or their components degrade. However, some satellites have lasted much longer through efficient management of resources. When a satellite reaches the end of its life, it may be moved to a "graveyard" orbit to reduce the chances of collision with other operational satellites.

It should take just over an hour and a half traveling at 17,000 mph.

Astronaut Charles Bolden was a contestant on Name That Tune in 1977.

Astronauts' poop is sealed in bags on the International Space Station and stored until it is trashed in a spacecraft or cargo vehicle that burns up upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. Some missions have experimented with recycling waste into useful resources.

Astronauts have to do tests such as the comet, where they go on a short trip into space on a special plane, so they can get used to low gravity.

They need to do alot of muscle workouts because they lose so much weight during space they could come back to earth and not be able to stand up because of the gravity

I don't think so, because firstly there must be another star like sun secondly on planet that will go round that star will has to have oxygen which is made out of plants which plants need carbon dioxide to live. So I don't think so

They need to exercise with regularity because the muscles begin to atrophy and bones begin to lose density . This present shuttle mission to the International Space Station brought the C.O.L.B.E.R.T. ( named after the comedian) which is an acronym for Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill ; see related links .

The last US astronaut to go to space alone was John Young. He flew a solo mission aboard the Gemini 10 spacecraft on July 18, 1966.

Early astronauts ate bite sized cubes, freeze-dried powders, and semi-liquids stuffed into tubes. After much complaining, astronauts were given better foods such as: bite sized cubes coated in gelatin, shrimp cocktails, chicken, vegetables, butterscotch pudding, and applesauce.

If an astronaut's lifeline was cut, they would become untethered and float away into space. They would likely be unable to navigate back to their spacecraft and could be lost in space. Immediate action would need to be taken by the astronaut and their crew to retrieve them before they drift too far away.

Philip Kenyon Chapman was the first Australian born American astronaut (NASA Group 6; 1967).

This question can be answered in two ways, Philip Kenyon Chapman is the first Australian born (he gained US citizenship in 1966) to train as an astronaut, although he never flew in space. He was the mission scientist for Apollo 14.

Paul Scully Power is an Australian born Payload Specialist who flew aboard STS-41 in October 5th to 13th 1984, but by that time he had become an US citizen, which he took in 1982.

So while Chapman holds the record for the first Australian to train as an astronaut, Power holds the record for the first Australian in space.

Astronauts in their spacecraft (such as the Space Shuttle) are lifted into space by huge rockets which accelerate the craft to "escape velocity" (about 25,000 mph). This puts the craft into orbit around the Earth, its forward velocity balancing the continuous pull of gravity. When they are ready to return to Earth, they use rockets to slow down, and gravity pulls them back out of orbit.

There have been around 350 male astronauts who have been to space. The number can vary depending on the selection criteria used.

The first astronaut to land on the moon was Neil Armstrong in 1969 as part of the Apollo 11 mission.

Ummm well you know this is only a guess but even though their astronauts......wouldnt they sleep in their sleeping bags? but then again the only thing i know about astronauts is that they fly to the moon

Barbara Morgan, who was a teacher turned astronaut, is from Idaho. She was born and raised in Fresno, but considers McCall, Idaho her hometown.
