As far as we know, there is no greater chance of catching a disease from another person in space than there is on Earth, although the confined nature of a spacecraft could make it possible. Everything in the weightlessness of space floats, including fluids like vomit. ---- Answer provided by Col. USAF Dr. Richard S. Williams Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from ...

Typical Shuttle flights last about ten days. Extended duration missions began in 1992 when the orbiter Columbia, outfitted with extended duration orbiter (EDO) hardware carrying up additional oxygen supplies, embarked on the longest Shuttle flight to date at that time, Mission STS-50. Endeavour later became the second orbiter in the fleet to be outfitted with EDO hardware for longer flights. ...

Oxygen is normally stored as a liquid for compactness due to the space limitation within the EVA suits. The EVA suits are designed for eight hours duration and astronauts normally do not spend more than about six hours outside doing an EVA. Also, there is emergency O2 available for a possible leak in the suit. ---- Answer provided by Lonnie Moffitt & Russell Romanella Image:K2S ...

Liquid oxygen is stored in tanks on board your spacecraft. These tanks are used to re-fill the oxygen used on an EVA. Some very intelligent people on the ground know in advance how much oxygen you will need during your space trip and will make sure you have enough stored oxygen to last. The oxygen tanks on board the spacecraft are pretty large and will not be changed out once you leave the Earth. ...

While items have no weight, they do have mass, which means that if something that was very heavy collided with you, it could hurt depending on the speed. We plan for these items and keep them on tethers or ropes, so that they won't go very far or very fast. ---- Answer provided by Byron Lichtenberg, Ph.D. Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book Kids to ...

For Number Two it's not so simple. On Skylab and the Shuttle there is a commode seat and the user's bottom must be held onto the seat or you'll float off. On Skylab we had a seat belt to hold us down and on the Shuttle, two L-shaped levers pull down on the top of the thighs to keep you down on the potty seat. Both systems work well and, in both cases, airflow is directed in just the right ...

In the backpack on those suits there are a couple of oxygen tanks which are about 800 pounds per square inch. They have enough oxygen to keep us in good shape for about seven or eight hours and can be recharged very quickly by coming back to the orbiter's airlock and connecting up to an umbilical in the airlock. ---- Answer provided by Futron Corporation Image:K2S logosmall.jpg ...

We have good experience building space stations that are safe and that last for many years in space. We learn about living in space every time we go there. We are inventing better technology and smarter computers which will allow us to build habitats on the Moon and Mars for larger numbers of people. As the habitats get bigger they will have more and more plants. The plants will clean the oxygen ...
