Life aboard the ISS: 6 pics of astronauts in action

The International Space Station (ISS) is a unique space environment where astronauts live and work in microgravity.

Astronauts follow a strict schedule, balancing work, exercise, and leisure activities to stay healthy and focused.

In microgravity, tasks such as eating, sleeping, and even using the bathroom are different from Earth. 

Astronauts perform scientific experiments on the ISS, studying everything from human health to materials science.

Each astronaut has a personal sleeping area with a sleeping bag attached to the wall to prevent floating while they sleep.

Food on the ISS is packaged and prepared differently. Astronauts eat a variety of foods, including fruits, nuts, and freeze-dried meals, but they need to be careful with crumbs.

One of the most beautiful aspects of living on the ISS is the view of Earth.

Living and working together in a small space fosters strong teamwork among astronauts from different countries.

The ISS serves as a platform for future missions to the Moon and Mars, helping scientists and astronauts prepare for longer journeys in space.
