In the magnificent chapter of China's aerospace, the space life of astronauts has always been the focus of public attention. From daily eating, drinking, and Lazar to working and scientific research, their every move in the vast universe affects the hearts of hundreds of millions of people.
In weightless space, the daily life of an astronaut is very different from that of Earth. Their outfits not only reflect the identity of astronauts, but also adapt to the particularities of the space environment. Inside the space station, they usually wear light shirts and pants, but due to the preciousness of water resources, they do not change their clothes very often. When they step out of the hatch to perform the mission, they will wear heavy spacesuits, which not only have the functions of heat preservation and pressure retention, but also effectively defend against cosmic rays and micrometeorites.
When it comes to eating, the variety of space foods is equally diverse. While fresh food is scarce, scientists have prepared a variety of meals for astronauts, including vegetables, fruits, meats and beverages, through techniques such as heat treatment, freezing or vacuum sealing. Scientists are also studying how to grow vegetables on the space station to achieve food self-sufficiency. In weightlessness, astronauts need to drink water through a straw and be careful not to let food drift away.
In terms of accommodation, the interior of the space station is spacious and bright, equipped with laboratories, bathrooms, fitness facilities and portholes with a 360-degree view. Astronauts rest in special sleeping bags that are fastened to bulkheads to prevent them from floating in weightless environments. In order to combat muscle atrophy and loss of bone density caused by weightlessness, astronauts exercise every day, using special treadmills, bicycles and other equipment to maintain good health.
In terms of personal hygiene, spacefarers use edible toothpaste to brush their teeth and wipe their bodies with damp towels to keep them clean. The design of the space toilet is very unique, it is able to purify urine and sweat into drinking water, and realize the recycling of resources. This high-tech design not only embodies the concept of environmental protection, but also provides a strong guarantee for the long-term life of astronauts in space.
In addition to their daily lives, astronauts also have to undertake heavy scientific research tasks. They have to carry out biology, physics experiments and earth observation work every day, maintain close communication with the ground, and adjust the work plan in a timely manner. Outside of work, they also relax by reading, watching movies, or making video calls with their families. The station is also equipped with a gym where astronauts can exercise by doing tai chi or pedaling space bikes.
The life of astronauts in space is both challenging and technological. Through special design and training, they have successfully adapted to a weightless environment and achieved efficient work-life in a limited space. Their dedication and efforts not only carry their personal dreams and expectations, but also carry the motherland's aerospace dream and Chinese dream.
