My glorious canvas by Skyler Ducheneaux https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl Made with whimsy en-us 2017-05-17 13:15:14 UTC 2017-05-19 04:13:12 UTC hello@padlet.com How do Astronauts train on land for the environments they will encounter in space? skyler_ducheneaux https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172320239 They train most of their time underwater since it mimics the way space will make them feel; weightless. To prepare for their journey into space they dive down 63 feet to an Aquaris which was placed on the seafloor in 1996. They dive down, and once inside the dry chamber they have to breathe pressurized air for their entire stay underwater. This pressurized air means that their bodies will be filled with nitrogen, which is similar to the air they will experience while they are up in space. They can be outside their habitat underwater for up to 9 hours a day. Since the scuba diving makes them weightless, which gives the astronauts the opportunity to master the skills and perfect the techniques they will need on space walks. ]]> 2017-05-17 13:17:21 UTC https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172320239 Explain the effect of increasing G forces on the human body? skyler_ducheneaux https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172712993 At the speed at 10 miles per second your body weight is effectively increasing 100 pounds per second. Also, the stomach has gotten so heavy that it is falling through the abdomen, but since it is connected to your throat by the hyperextended esophagus it will stay in place. The blood begins to weigh nine times more every few seconds. The very delicate air sacs in your lungs begin to break down. The lower part of your lungs have broken under the pressure, but the upper part are still intact. The heart is no longer strong enough to pump blood to your brain. Your body is frantically trying to handle the chaos created by the gravitational force.]]> 2017-05-19 01:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172712993 Explain the effects a no-gravity environment has on the human body systems. skyler_ducheneaux https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172717105 The pressure is suddenly reduced, and the expanding gas doesnt have any natural escape route from the joint. It can be removed very slowly through metabolism by body exzymes. ]]> 2017-05-19 02:32:25 UTC https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172717105 What are the perils of walking outside the space vehicle? How can an astronaut protect the body from these hazards? skyler_ducheneaux https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172720213 Space walks are very high-risk exercises becuase they put astronauts at their lowest level of protection. Your spacesuit is designed to keep you alive. It is to protect you from the counterpressure and hold you back from the vaccum of space. It is also to insulate you from wide varying temperatures from anywhere 200 below Fahrenheit to 200 above zero.  ]]> 2017-05-19 03:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172720213 How do astronauts deal with the accumulation of expelled carbon dioxide? What happens if this gas is not regulated? skyler_ducheneaux https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172721691 To try and have the least amount of carbon dioxide output the crew on the Apollo 13 crew did everything they could to limit physical exertion. When the alarm went off signaling that the levels were way to high they constructed a contraption made out of random stuff around the craft, after an hour after it was made they started to breathe easily again. If the gas was not regulated in time the trip would have ended in a fatal tragedy. ]]> 2017-05-19 03:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172721691 Explain how the body regulates normal sleep patterns. Why would this pattern be disrupted in space? skyler_ducheneaux https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172722653 Your body has sleep patterns. It has learned to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. In space is there no day and night, because it is simply always dark outside. Your inside biological clock for saying whether it is day or night becomes off. ]]> 2017-05-19 03:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172722653 Explain why exercise is necessary in space. skyler_ducheneaux https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172723526 In space your body begins to deteriorate. You lose your muscle tone, your bones begin to weaken, and your blood volume drops. Therefore exercising is needed in space to keep everything from deteriorating quickly. ]]> 2017-05-19 03:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172723526 Top 5 Rules skyler_ducheneaux https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172723914 1. Regulate your sleeping patterns. Make sure you aren't under sleeping or over sleeping. 
2. Minimize the Carbon Dioxide levels. 
3. Keep exercising so that things in your body dont deteriorate so quickly. 
4. Stay in tune with your own body. 
5. Stay protected by wearing space suits, staying in space crafts, and wearing all the needed materials when in space. ]]> 2017-05-19 03:55:27 UTC https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172723914 You are able to bring one average size backpack with you on your expedition in space. Explain what you would pack and why? skyler_ducheneaux https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172724264 I would pack a sleeping bag to sleep in. Some dehydrated food to eat. Extra Oxygen canisters to keep in case for breathing. Also just some random essentials for hygiene, and over all help to keep me happy while in space. ]]> 2017-05-19 04:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/skyler_ducheneaux/8qfru3u4l5nl/wish/172724264
