Zero Gravity

Porto, Francisco
In the ISS is zero-gravity is more difficult to walk(move).
HOW THE ISS STAYS UP IN SPACE
As long as it keeps up that speed it falls AROUND
Earth, not DOWN to it.
That's called being in ORBIT.1. The ISS is constantly
FALLING because it's pulled by the force of
gravity...
...but it's also SPEEDING at 28,163km (17,500 miles) per hour - that's very fast.
3. As long as it keeps up that speed it falls AROUND
Earth, not DOWN to it.
That's called being in ORBIT.We're always falling.
There's no air in space, so everything falls at the same speed, as if it's floating.This state is known as Zero-G.
Because were always floating, there's no floor or ceiling on the ISS.
Instead, we just float along.

Eating in Space

This food is specially prepared to last several months, and designed to avoid crumbs that might float off and damage the station’s controls.They need to have the things with no water and when they go to eat they add water to the food.
The pre-cooked meals they simply warm the food in the oven.
The fresh food supplies of fresh fruit and vegetables are eaten quickly, before they rot, so they don’t usually last very long.

Tortilla wraps don't leave crumbs, so they're used instead of sliced bread.Straps, clips and sticky strips hold things down.Scissors to open food packages.Salt and pepper are pastes, to avoid sprinkles that might float away

Astronaut training

Miguel, Julia, Rita Martins

When astronauts enter a phase called ‘Basic Training’ they need to learn how rockets work and spacecraft work. They also learn Russian because some space missions take out from Russia.First they arrive at the space agency to begin five years of astronauts training. They also learn survival skills - important in case our spacecraft crash lands in a remote place on Earth. They also learned how to survive at sea- but in a swimming pool. Rescuing crew mates from the water, and escaping a sinking spacecraft.
Those that passed went on to the next training stage...
The next part of our training was in a full-size model of a SPACE STATION!
It flew up and down
in super steep curves,
like a rollercoaster.
We boarded a special plane that creates the effect of being at Zero-G.
Floating under water feels a lot like being in space, so wie eid a lot of training in a huge water tank.
Learning how to fix a space station
We also used high-tech virtual reality headsets.
Finally. we had to practice EVERY SINGLE THING wed do on the space station.

Experiments in space

Denys, Francisca R.

In space astronauts do experiments.
And one them is to grow plants
They also take lichen and fungi.
Then, they put them into racks.
After, they put them outside the ISS.
Also, they do experiments with animals but they mostly with small animals, to see which of them survives most time.
The animal that survive the longest time is the tardigrades.
Also they recicle a lot because they have limited resources.
Using food pouches to design new 3D constructions.
Like using waste to create a brand new 3D printed wrench.

Sleeping in Space

Nayara ,Beatriz
Actually, they're just normal PJs.They're nice and comfy, though.Each crew member has their own sleep station.I climb inside and zip up the
bag...There's no pillow or mattress.
We just sleep floating.
So, really, it's not BED TIME...Right! I just need a couple of essential items, and I'll be ready to sleep.
The station lights stay on all the time, so an eye mask in a must.Earplugs block out the constant buzzing noise of the space station.

Spacesuits

Carlota, Pedro
Spacesuits are called EMU[Extravehicular Mobility Unit]
The Spacesuits includes:
Light to help astronauts see what they are doing.
Video camera
Controls for the suit's cooling fan, radio, and oxygen level
"Space drill" tool for spacewalk tasks
Astronauts have different markings on their suits so
Mission control can tell them apart
The backpack also has racket thrusters to blast back to the space station, in case the astrondut somehow floats awdy.
Thick boots
Backpack with water tank, oxygen supply and back-up oxygen (just in case!)
Helmet with gold plated visor to reflect sunlight
They put thermal layer with little tubes inside
Next they put a outer suit

Relaxing in space

Maria do Mar, Dominik

After dinner, from eight o’clock until nine o’clock, to have some fun after a hard day of work, astronauts on the ISS can:
-Watch a movie;
-Read a book;
-Talk to their families online(computer or phone);
-Play games(chess);
-Play an instrument(guitar, keyboard…);
-Or look at the beautiful view.

They can do all this stuff for an hour.
These are just examples, because they can do much more than that.
Astronauts can also be all together in a group, all doing the same thing.

And, when they reach nine o’clock they need to go to sleep.
