Astronauts work for ten hours a day during the week and five hours on Saturday. The rest time of the day they are free. They wake up at 6.00 and have breakfast.

A typical space mission orbits the Earth once every 90 minutes. Astronauts can watch the sun rise and set 16 times in 24 hours! That’s pretty different to what we see on Earth. All the same, there is a daily routine aboard the space station. One crew member tells us what their typical day is like.

“Every ‘morning’, Mission Control wakes us up with music. We have a couple of hours to wash, have breakfast and get the ‘morning’ messages from Mission Control. It’s impossible to have a shower in space so we use a wet towel to wash ourselves. Shaving and brushing our teeth are also difficult, as there is no running water. Next, we get dressed. Inside the space station we wear ordinary clothes like T-shirts and jeans. Then we’re ready for work.

Most of the ‘morning’ we work on science projects involving life on the station. We also check all our equipment and systems are working properly. Sometimes, we put on our spacesuits and go on a spacewalk, but not every day. There’s a short break for lunch and then we go back to work for the ‘afternoon’.

Fortunately, it’s not all work and no play aboard the space station. In the ‘evening’, everyone has some hours to have dinner and relax. Most of us video call our families in this free time. We also read books, watch films or listen to music. Sometimes we sit by the window and watch the Earth spinning around under us! After that, it’s time to go to bed and get our eight hours’ sleep. Mission Control and the computers can have a rest for the ‘night’!”
