Have you ever imagined the life in space? The following will show you the astronauts' daily life.

Eating in space

Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms, such as chocolate cakes and bananas. Other foods require adding water, such as cheese. Of course, an oven is provided at the space station to heat the food. But there are no fridges, so space food must be kept properly. Astronauts can never be careless with their food storage.

Sleeping in space

Astronauts go to bed at a certain time, then get up and prepare for work again. They might set their alarm clocks to wake up at 6 a.m. When going to sleep, they have to attach themselves, so they don't float around or hit their bodies against something. They usually use sleeping bags located in small crew cabins. Each crew cabin is like a tiny apartment just big enough for one person.

Doing sports in space

Exercise is an important part of every astronaut's daily life to prevent muscle loss. Usually, astronauts exercise two hours every day. They might use a special gym with exercise machines. Lifting 200 pounds on Earth may be a lot of work. But it would be much easier in space. That means the things for exercise need to be specially designed, so astronauts can receive the exercise needed to stay fit.

Living in space is not just all work and no play. Astronauts have fun, too. They might take photos of Earth or write in their diaries. Fun plays an important role in the quality of their lives.
