Summary
Astronauts follow a daily routine that includes sleeping in sleeping bags fastened to a wall, eating meals that are packaged to work in microgravity, and exercising on equipment that stays fixed to the station.
They conduct scientific experiments in fields like biology, physics, and Earth observation, taking advantage of the weightless environment.
The station’s large observation window, called the Cupola, provides a panoramic view of the planet, allowing crew members to see weather patterns and city lights.
Space Exploration Day celebrates these achievements and encourages students to learn about space science.
