Introduction:
Space tourists spend their time
in zero gravity and microgravity environments. Most commonly, this involves
freefall and weightlessness on Earth's surface in the International Space
Station (ISS). There is a huge queue of people interested in going into space,
but as well as wanting to see the universe up close, there are also many other
reasons why you may want to go into space – whether it be personal experience
or professional interests. Some people want to experience weightlessness while
others are more keen on exploring caves and ice caves or observing faraway
ships. I will explain what really happens during your experience in space.
What DO Space Tourists Actually Do?
1. They take a lot of pictures
The people who take pictures of space are
called space tourists.
Space tourism is big news these
days, but what exactly do these tourists do? It's simple: They pay money to go
into space, and then they take pictures.
Some people are just looking
for a few minutes of weightlessness or a chance to look out the window of a
spacecraft streaking past Earth's clouds. Others want to see something bigger:
a launch or an orbiter.
Orbital Sciences Corp., which
has been selling seats on its flights since 2000, charges about $35 million per
person for a fly-around visit to the International Space Station (ISS). SpaceX,
founded by PayPal cofounder Elon Musk, charges $250 million per person for an
orbital flight that lasts about two hours and includes two astronauts riding in
the same capsule as the paying passenger.
2. They adjust to microgravity
The most common purpose of
space tourism is to get a feel for microgravity — but it can be anything from
an experiment in weightlessness to an opportunity to study some aspect of human
physiology.
The key thing to remember is
that astronauts don't spend their time floating around the International Space
Station, or even on board the Soyuz capsule. They spend most of their time
working and living in a very small space together — the orbital module, where
they work, sleep and eat. The rest of the ship is dedicated to supporting that
life.
3. They learn to go to the bathroom
while floating
Space tourists have to be
prepared for a lot of things. They will most likely have to go to the bathroom
while in space, but they also will have to eat and drink while floating through
the atmosphere.
The first thing that people
need to know is that there are no showers on the International Space Station
(ISS). This means that you will have to use a urine bag or water bottle in
order to pee or poo.
Also, you cannot use handheld
devices while floating around in space because they will become unusable very
quickly due to the lack of gravity.
4. They eat food and drink water
carefully
Space tourists will be able to
eat and drink food and water carefully during their stay in space. As they will
be weightless, gravity has no effect on their bodies.
The lack of gravity means that
they can also get a massage without any physical contact between them and the
masseuse.
5. They exercise
When you think of astronauts,
you probably don't think about exercise. But for the past few years, astronauts
have been exercising in space. Astronauts aboard the International Space
Station have been doing a lot more than just hanging out in their tiny little
room.
In fact, they're using treadmills
and resistance bands to get a workout while they're floating around up there.
They also use exercise balls and do yoga in zero gravity. It's all part of what
NASA calls "cadence training."
NASA says that cadence training
is part of a larger fitness program that includes strength training and
cardiovascular fitness. And it's proven to be very effective at helping
astronauts stay healthy during long stays in space — which is why NASA has
chosen to use it on its future missions too.
5. Watch the Sunrise 15 Times a Day
The first thing that space
tourists will do is watch the sunrise. Theoretically, they could watch it 15
times a day; however, they're more likely to stick to watching it once a day.
Some of these people say that
watching the sunrise is one of their favorite things to do. They say that
seeing the earth from space makes them feel connected with the earth and its
beauty. They also say that it's easy for them to fall asleep because of this
beautiful view.
6.Check out Space Lasers
Space Lasers are a type of
laser that can be used for various purposes in space. They are used to scan
objects, measure distances and make measurements. They also help in building
satellites and other equipment.
Conclusion:
Spacemen can experience every
stage of the mission, including pre-launch quarantine, spacecraft assembly and
life on board, launch into Earth orbit, and landing. What they do on each
mission will be different due to the mission requirements and the astronauts'
training.
