media type="file" key="pd7grp5.wmv"question 1: The clothes that they will wear in space is a shirt and shorts. They will wear these months before to get used to them. They can either get their clothes from the United States or Russia. Crewmembers get 1 shirt and 1 set of pants every three days of exercising. They will have to find a way to wash their clothes.They are able to bathe everyday after exercising.

question 2: They will sleep tied down because there is no gravity in space so they will float around if they are not carefull. They sleep in sleeping bags and sometimes sleep standing up!!!

question 3: They exercise in space because since you are just floating around you don't lose weight as easily. They will lose bone mass and muscle. It is good to exercise in space because they need to look good when they come back to earth :) On the space station, the astronauts wear different suits according to what the temperature on the space station is. Most of their suits are made in Russia because they make their suits light or heavy to keep them cooled-off or warmed-up in space. In the space station, astronauts sleep 6-8 hours every night just like they do on Earth. In the space station they're weightless so sleep is a little more difficult. They have to strap themselves to a wall, seat, or bunk bed so they don't float around while they're sleeping. They can also sleep in sleeping bags, the commander's seat, the pilot's seat, or in bunk beds. But they must be strapped down otherwise they'll be floating around and might bump into things and could possibly that could possibly break the space station. In order to get exercise in space, astronauts use many devices. Some of them include the cycle ergometer (stationary bike), a treadmill, and a resistance exercise device. These things all help keep the astronauts in good shape and allo them to do the things they need to do aboard the space station. Astronauts exercise in space because when they're in space they lose muscle and bone mass. In order to remain strong, they must exercise on a regular basis. They also exercise because they need lots of energy to work in the space station. [|<< First] [|< Previous] [|Next >] [|Last >>]
