This is the ISS, a crew of 10 astronauts aboard the iss every 6 months. The ISS is the size of an American football field, weighs 400 tons, moves at 17500 mph, orbits the earth every 92 minutes. Astronauts aboard the iss to conduct experiments. Research in astronomy, biology, human biology, meteorology, medical, physics, biotechnology, material science, earth science, and other fields. For a astronaut to start off it's day, the astronauts shower, but not on running water, they put water and shampoo on a cloth and rub their hair, and body with the cloth. People with long hair spray the soap on their scalp and hair and rub it with the washcloth. Astronauts wake up in 6:00 am and go to bed in 9:30 pm. Once the astronauts are done with showering, they have breakfast, eating in space is different because people in space have to dehydrate the food, then there allowed to eat it. Eating toast is not good in space because the crumbs will make a mess around the whole ISS and get stuck in little spaces and turn into fungus and make dirty air. Once their done with breakfast, they have to some tasks, such as corrective tasks, prevention tasks, disinfecting the ISS, filter areas, and take out trash. Before the crew members shower, eat, and do tasks, they have to get dressed. Once the astronauts are done with doing their tasks, they have lunch. Once there done with there lunch they have to conduct experiments. Once there done with experiments they eat dinner and go to bed in 9:30. Astronauts have to wear there clothes for about a long time, once there done with wearing there clothes, they change and put their dirty clothes in bags and wait for a supply shuttle to pick up and deliver new clothes, food, water, and vital stuff for astronauts to safely stay in the ISS. When astronauts have to use the bathroom for urine there is a tube with a vacuum attached to it, so the urine doesn't go fly around the ISS and make a smell. For solid waste, there is a toilet with a bag and when there done they bag up the solid waste and take a stick and shove it down the toilet to a liquid container. Then once a while a shuttle comes to pick up the waste when it's bagged up. There is info on ISS.
