Life aboard the International Space Station (ISS) is a remarkable and unique experience for astronauts, as they orbit Earth about 400 kilometers above the surface. The environment in space is vastly different from life on Earth, requiring astronauts to adapt to many changes. This essay will explore how astronauts live, eat, sleep, and work while aboard the ISS. Daily Life in Space Astronauts have structured and busy schedules on the ISS, with their daily activities planned by mission control on Earth down to five-minute intervals. Their day typically begins around 6:30 AM GMT. Each astronaut has a small private sleeping area, similar to a phone booth, where they sleep in a sleeping bag that is tethered to the wall to prevent floating.
