What is the iss? Iss means International Space Station. This is a station in spacethatturnsintoorbitaround the earth. There are different modules on the ISS.
How is the ISS made? The components of the ISS are made in pieces on the ground. Thentheylaunchedonebyoneby ESA (European Space Agency). The first module is launched in 1998. The ISS willbe in spaceuntil the year 2020.
ISS data ► total size: 51 to 109 meters ► living space: 388 cubic meters ► total Weight: 419,000 pounds ► energy: solar wings 8 of 73 meters long with a capacity of 84 kilowatts ► height: 340 miles above the Earth ► speed: 27,000 kilometers per hour
What is the contribution of Europe? The contributions of Europe has send through the ESA The ESA exists of 15 countries: Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, Sweden and Switzerland
The largest single contribution of ESA is the laboratory Columbus. Europe has also contribute datamanagementsystems and the European Robotic Arm
What is the purpose of the ISS? The ISS have been made forthree goals: • science • education • exploration
How many expeditions have been to the ISS? There have been 35 expeditions to the ISS. One is still working. There are still a few planned for the future. Here you see a journey to space.
An average work day takes nine hours. In the science laboratory Columbus there can be done many kinds of different experiments, be both inside the space laboratory and outside. From satellites and telescopes from researchers can determine the orbit of each planet, comet, asteroid or dwarf planet. One examines whether there are useful commodities, which we can still use on earth. Then it is up to the nationals to pick it. .
Andre Kuipers is a famous Dutch astronaut. He was born in Amsterdam on october 5 1958. He is 55 years. Besides astronaut Andre Kuipers is a doctor. On the 21 of december 2011 Andre Kuipers departed to the ISS. On 23 December 2011, the rocket docked around 16:22 to the ISS. Andre Kuipers was 193 days on the ISS, he did different kinds of experiments.
Earlier in 2013, Andre Kuipers, visit our province ‘Friesland’. He gave a reading about his trip to space. One of our students was there and met him! She also gets his signature.
The outcomes The biggest experiment of Andre Kuipers was his own body. He made a daily ‘headache diary’. All astronauts have headache once they arrived in space. By keeping a diary to medical researchers on Earth make comparisons and research into causes. Kuipers drained blood to himself , took saliva and urine sample and did fitness tests . The physical examination of André Kuipers will provide useful information for the future, when ‘normal people’ going into space for short trips.
Other outcomes There have been done a lot of experimentsand research in the ISS. In manyexperiments the gravityplaysan important role. A few examples: • Earth observation – the production of oxygenbyalgaenand plankton • Developing a philips plasmalamp • Vegetablecultivation
How is life in ISS? Sleeping in the iss The astronauts sleep in a sleeping bag that is made to the wall, because otherwise they will float in their sleep. It does not matter if you’re lying or if you are standing when you sleep, because there is not really a ‘below or above’.
The toilet in the iss If the astronauts have to pee, they pee in a rubber hose. This hose is stuck in a tight tank. When the astronauts have to defecate, they are sitting on a kind of vacuum cleaner. All poop is collected in a tank.
Washing in the iss The astronauts are washing themselves with wet cloths, because water will float. They showering in a kind of cocoon, in which a quantity of water is sprayed on. The astronauts must throw the water against them, because the water will float. When they have finished showering, the water is sucked up
Food in the iss Solid food is eaten with a spoon. Liquid food, like yogurt, is with a straw. Everything you eat do you one by one, if you open all the food at the same time, the food will float. Crumbs that are floating around can be dangerous before the valuable equipment.
Some facts • The astronauts pee at the bus thatthey go to the launchpad, beforethey go intospace • The astronauts plant a tree beforethey go intospace. • During the traditional flagceremonythere was a nice moment when Commander Oleg (German astronaut) Kononenko was walkingto the Dutch flagand Andre Kuipers tothe Germanflag, becauseif the flagshang down, the Germanandthe Dutch flagare veryalike.
