ХОД УРОКА

Приложение I

Zip was invented for the spacesuits so that astronauts had no problems in changing their clothes every day.

Velcro was invented for the use in space so that astronauts could stick things to the walls of the spaceship.

Wireless tools were invented for the astronauts to work on the Moon or in the outer space.

Brackets. Scientists invented special protective substance hard enough to protect some parts of the spaceship. Later dentists found out that it is good to use it as material for making brackets.

Water filters can be found in any kitchen nowadays. But some time ago they were used only in spaceships to make the water clean.

Scientists invented special plastic for space helmets. It was transparent (прозрачный) and hard enough not to break. Later on company ‘Foster Grant’ used this plastic to create contact lenses.

Scientists working for NASA created digital thermometer to measure temperature. It was less dangerous than mercury thermometer and measured temperature much faster.

Today sport shoes are made using the same technologies as shoes for astronauts are created.

Smoke means that there is fire somewhere. It is especially dangerous in space. So NASA specialists invented smoke detector for the protection of spaceships.

Living on the ISS

LIVING IN SPACE

A science laboratory 360 km from the Earth? A preparation for the flight to Mars? A cathedral in the sky? The International Space Station, or ISS, is all of these.

At this very moment, the ISS is orbiting the Earth at a distance of 360 km. It is flying at 28,000 km/hr. It goes round the Earth 16 times a day. It took more than $100 billion and 14 years to develop. It is the most expensive thing ever built.

THE STATION

The first part of the station went into space in 1998. Astronauts started to live on it in November 2000. There are usually three astronauts on board for about six months at a time. Over the years there have been over 200 visitors from 15 different countries. Supply ships arrive about eight times a year.

AIMS

Space agencies in the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and Europe are working together. They are using the zero gravity of space to do experiments in biology, physics and astronomy. They are learning about living in space over a long time, and the effects of this on the human body. The astronauts are growing plants to make oxygen. They are studying the Earth’s weather and geography. And they are looking at planets and stars to understand the origin of the universe.

AN ASTRONAUT’S DAY

Astronauts work for ten days a day during the week and five hours on Saturday. The rest of the time they are free.

They wake up at 6.00 and have breakfast. There is a meeting, and they decide the day’s plans. They have an hour for lunch, then more work till dinner at 7.00. Lights out is at 9.30. They do two hours’ exercise every day, because weightlessness affects the body’s muscles and bones.

SPACE SLEEP

After a long day at work, just like on Earth, a worker in space goes to bed at night, then wakes up the next day and prepares for work all over again. There are a few differences, though.

In space there is no up and down and there is no gravity. As a result, astronauts are weightless and can sleep in any position. However, they have to attach themselves to a wall, a seat or a bed inside the crew cabin so they don’t float around.

Space station crews usually sleep in sleeping bags. On the space station there are two small crew cabins. Each one is just big enough for one person. Inside both crew cabins is a sleeping bag and a large window to look out into space. Now, space station crews have three astronauts living and working in space for months at a time. Where does the third astronaut sleep? He / She can sleep anywhere in space station; they just attach themselves to something.

Usually, astronauts sleep for eight hours at the end of each day. When it is time to wake up, the space station crew uses an alarm clock.

FOOD

There isn’t a real kitchen, but there is a kitchen table. All food comes in tins or packets. There is fresh fruit only when a supply ship comes.

Astronauts eat with a spoon. It is a good idea to have food with a sauce so that it stays on the spoon and doesn’t flow away! They like spicy food because in space the sense of taste isn’t very strong.

PERSONAL LIVES

Astronauts have their own clothes and books and laptops. The temperature is always 72 degrees Fahrenheit, so astronauts usually wear shorts and a T-shirt.

There isn’t a shower, but there are two toilets.

In their free time they send e-mails home, read and play games. But what they like to do is look out of the windows at the Earth below.

FUTURE OF THE ISS

The ISS is the first of many space stations. There isn’t a date yet for a manned trip to Mars, but space agencies are already talking about it. One thing is sure - at some time in the 21st century it will certainly happen.

Eating in space

Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Scientists add a balanced supply of vitamins and minerals into this food. An astronaut can choose from many types of foods such as fruits, nuts, peanut butter, chicken, beef, seafood, candy, brownies, etc. They can choose such drinks as coffee, tea, orange juice, fruit punches and lemonade. Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms, such as brownies and fruit. But they add water into such food as macaroni and cheese or spaghetti. 

Their food is well-packed. Packaging prevents food from flying away. They must throw away packages when they have finished eating.

Free time in space

Living in space is not just all work and no play. Astronauts like to have fun, too. If you're staying on the International Space Station for a few months, it is certainly okay to look out the window, play with your food or play jokes on your friends once in awhile. Fun is an essential ingredient to the quality of life. Aboard the space station, crew members have many opportunities to relax and play. Like most people who work full time, astronauts get weekends off. On any given day, crew members can watch movies, play music, read books, play cards and talk to their families. They have an exercise bike, various other equipment to help keep their bodies in shape. They play games and generally have a good time.

Exercising in space

Exercise is an important part of everyday life for astronauts aboard the station to prevent bone and muscle loss. Usually, astronauts exercise two hours a day. The equipment they use is different than what we use on Earth. Lifting 200 pounds on Earth may be a lot of work. But lifting that same object in space would be much easier. Because of microgravity, it would weigh much less than 200 pounds there. That means exercise equipment needs to be specially designed for use in space so astronauts will receive the workout needed.

Working is space

Astronauts do many tasks as they live on ISS. The space station is a research laboratory. So astronauts spend their day working on science experiments They also take part in medical experiments. And, of course, they look after the space station – they check systems and filtres, do many technical things.

The Mission Control Center monitors the space station and sends messages each day with new instructions or plans to help the crew members in their daily routines.

Morning routine

Astronauts wash their hair, brush their teeth, shave and go to the bathroom. However, because of the microgravity environment, astronauts take care of themselves in different ways.
They wash their hair with a special shampoo that was originally developed for hospital patients who were unable to take a shower.

They clean their teeth just like they do it on the Earth.
