A Day in the Life of an Astronaut Aboard the ISS
Tim Peake, a British astronaut, says that his day on the space station starts when the lights are turned on by mission control at 6am. Once you've woken up, the day starts the same as it would on the Earth, with a trip to the bathroom. Then it's time for household chores.
The space station requires routine maintenance and safety checks on most days. One day it might be moving some supplies, another day could involve repairing an essential piece of equipment.
What we already know about living in orbit is that the lack of gravity makes astronauts' bones more brittle. To slow this process down, each crew member is required to exercise for at least two hours a day.
Food comes in several forms on the space station: dehydrated meals to which hot water is added before eating and tinned foods that can be heated in the can before opening. The salt and pepper have been transformed into liquids, otherwise the station would be full of floating granules of salt.
The main purpose for the existence of the ISS is to act as a unique scientific research laboratory and each astronaut spends part of their day as zero-gravity lab technicians for scientists back on the Earth.
Extra-vehicular activity (EVA), or a 'spacewalk', is not a regular part of life on the space station but it can be among an astronaut's most memorable moments in space.
Probably the most popular pastime among astronauts is just watching the Earth spinning beneath the station. Chris Hadfield, a Canadian astronaut on the ISS, became one of the most famous astronauts for many years after playing guitar and even making a music video.
