The International Space Station orbits Earth every 92 minutes at a speed of 17,500 mph. It has 5 major parts including solar arrays, a science lab, command center, habitat, and docking port. Astronauts follow a daily schedule that includes exercise, meal times, science experiments, and sleep. They train underwater and receive supplies from resupply spacecraft. Various experiments are conducted on the ISS, including growing plants and microgravity experiments. Astronauts must exercise daily to prevent muscle and bone loss in the microgravity environment. They sleep in attached sleeping bags and wear comfortable, reusable clothes.

1. All Aboard The ISS
 By : Morgan, BreAnna, Hailey, and Charles

2. How High They Go
 The International Space Station goes around the Earth
at 17,500 mph. It orbits Earth once every 92 minutes.
During every orbit the astronauts get about 46 min of
light and 46 min of darkness. They will see the sun will
rise and set 16 times a day.

3. Parts of the space station
 There are 5 major parts on
the ISS they include
 Solar Arrays
 Science Lab
 Command
 The Habitat
 The Docking Port

4. Daily schedule
 8:00 to 10:00 am post - sleep
 10:00 to 10:30 am planning and coordination
 10:30 to 1:00 pm Exercise
 1:00 to 2:00 lunch
 2:00 to 2:30 daily systems operations (take care of the
Station)
 3:30 to 10:00 pm work on science and projects
 10:00 pm to 12:00 am time off
 12:00 to 8:30 am sleep

5. ROBOTIC ARM
 Canada has
made the
ISS`s
robotic
arms.

6. How Astronauts Train Underwater
 The astronauts train for being in space in a huge pool
in Houston, Texas. Hundreds of people apply to be
astronauts, but only a few are selected every two years.

7. How they get supplies
 The ISS gets its supplies from a resupply spacecraft
that comes from Earth.

8. Microgravity glove boxThe
Microgravity
Glove Box is
used for
experimenting
in-side
the
International
Space Station.

9. Growing Plants In Space
 Scientists grow plants on the ISS to learn
about how plants grow in space. We hope
that someday we might be able to live away
from the Earth. We would need a way to feed
ourselves.

10. How Astronauts Eat
 Astronaut
food is
canned or
Freeze-
dried. This
is because
the ISS
does not
have a
refrigerator.

11. Exercising In Space. Astronauts live in zero
gravity, so their bones
and muscles become
weak over time. They
work out on a special
exercise bike and
treadmill to build up
their muscles and
bones. They also lift
weights.

12. How astronauts sleep
 The crewmembers aboard the ISS sleep while
floating in microgravity. Astronauts attach a
sleeping bags to the wall and sleep in that.
Astronauts are scheduled for eight hours of sleep a
day because every 90 minutes the sun sets.

13. What astronauts wear and how
they clean up
 In space astronauts wear
comfortable clothes they
change every three days.
 They throw their clothes away
that they have worn.
 They use wipes (like baby
wipes) to wash themselves.
