Astronauts Living In Space.

 Astronauts Living In Space : 


A bed on the wall, baby wipes for a wash, footholds, and edible  toothpaste! Life on the space station is very different from life on earth.  

 

Life in Space Station. 


Ordinary Days :

                                             Astronauts need to do everything that you do. They eat, exercise, sleep, work, and play, but they have to do all these things in a home without the gravity

New Arrivals :

                                          When astronauts arrive at a space station, they bring supplies with them. Imagine trying to unpack your suitcase when you are floating. some astronauts suffer temporary hearing problems after living on a space station, this is because the necessary air filters, fans, and pumps make it very noisy.          


Keeping Healthy :

                                                   Astronaut's muscles don't work very hard in micro gravity, so they quickly lose strength, so astronauts exercise for about two hours a day. This athlete completed a marathon on the International Space Station treadmill.

Time for Work :

                                             Experienced scientists regularly jion the astronauts in the space station to carry out a variety of experiments and record the results.

A Tasty Food :

                                          Food is supplied in sealed packets and some of it is dehydrated. That means that water has to be added before the food can be eaten.   


 Nutritional Food for Astronauts. 


Time for Bed :

                                Most of the crew use sleeping bags, which have to be strapped to the walls of the space station. The bag holds astronauts' arms in place. Otherwise they would float above their head.

They like to keep clean, like us !

                                                                                         Astronauts use combs and toothbrushes, and toothpaste. But the toothpaste doesn't froth, and gets swallowed. Wet wipes are useful for a speedy wash...

Journey To The Moon

MOON JOURNEY  :  


During the 1960s there was a race between the USA and the former Soviet Union to put a man on the moon. The USA landed the first man on the moon with APOLLO 11 in 1969.

What was Apollo 11 ?  

                                       🌕  Apollo 11 was made up of three modules, or parts: the tiny command module, the service module, and the lunar module.Apollo 11 mission reached the moon because of a huge rocket called SATURN V. Most of SATURN V contained the fuel needed to blast it into space.

                  🌕 Three astronauts sat in a tiny capsule at the top of the rocket. The service module contained the power and life-support systems. The three astronauts worked and slept in the command  module. And the Mission commander Neil Armstrong struggled to find a flat landing site. He succeeded with just seconds to spare.

The Eagle has landed : 

                                           🌕  The lunar module ( the part of apollo 11 that landed ) was also known as the Eagle.It touched down on the moon on 20 July, 1969.

The Different Stages of Apollo 11 Mission : 

                                                                                           🚀  STAGE 1 :  Five F1 engines blast the SATURN V rocket into space from the Kennedy Space Center.  

                                     🚀  STAGE 2 : The rocket's engines fire to set the craft on a course to the moon. 

                                     🚀  STAGE 3 : The command and service modules separate from the rocket and perform a 180° turn.   

                                     🚀 STAGE 4 :  The command and service modules reattach to the lunar module, which is still connected to the rocket.  

                                     🚀 STAGE 5 :  The rest of the rocket is discarded while the commanded, service, and lunar modules  continue to the moon.  

                                     🚀  STAGE 6 :  The journey has taken 102 hours, 45 minutes. The lunar module is ready to land.  

                                     🚀  STAGE 7 :  The command and service modules orbit the moon ( one astronaut remains on board ) while the lunar module lands. Two astronauts walk on the moon.    

                                     🚀  STAGE 8 :  The lunar module joins the command and service modules so the two lunar astronauts can climb through. The lunar module is then abandoned.   

                                     🚀  STAGE 9 :  The service module is ejected before re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.    

                                     🚀  STAGE 10 :  The command module is the only part of the mission to return to Earth.

Short Story of Moon Landing 1969. ( was it conspiracy, theories.)

 Men On The Moon:

🌕  On 20 July 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Surface of the moon. He was joined by Buzz Aldrin. A third astronaut, Mike Collins, remained in orbit with the command and service modules.

🌕  What was it Like:

                                     Buzz Aldrin described the moon's Surface as like nothing on Earth. He said it consists of a fine, talcum - powder - like dust, strewn with pebbles and rocks.

                                     Why is there no blue sky on the moon?   — Because the Moon has no atmosphere.


🌕   What did they do there: 

                                        Armstrong and Aldrin spent almost 22 hours on the moon. About 2.5 hours of this was spent outside the Eagle, collecting rock and soil samples, setting up experiments, and taking pictures.


The Lunar module was nicknamed as the Eagle.


🌕   How did they talk ? 

                                      There's no air in space, so sound has nothing to travel through. Lunar astronauts use radio equipment in their helmets.




🌕    Here comes Earth: 

                                 Instead of the moon rising, the astronaut saw Earth rising over the moon's horizon — it looked four times bigger than the moon looks from Earth.


Earth rising over the moon's Surface.


🌕    We have Transport  !

                                    Three later Apollo missions each carried a small electric car, a lunar rover, which allowed the astronauts to explore away from the lander. These were left on the moon when the astronaut left.


Transport over one lunar rover reached a top speed of 22km/h (13.5 mph). 

🌕    Splashdown to Earth:

                                      The astronaut returned to Earth in the Apollo 11 command module. This fell through the atmosphere and landed in the Pacific Ocean. A ringed float helped to keep it stable.

                                             Sounds that so weird :  The lunar module computer on Apollo 11 had just 71 K of memory. Some calculators can now store more than 500 K of memory.        



" That's One Small Step for man, One Giant Leap for mankind. "
