3. Life on Space
The International Space Station (ISS) is a research
facility being assembled in space.
Its on-orbit assembly began in 1998.
The space station is in a low Earth Orbit
It can be seen from Earth with the naked eye.
A joint project among the space agencies of the United
States (NASA), Russian (RKA), Japan (JAXA), Canada
(CSA) and 11 European countries (ESA)

5. Life on Space…with Microbes
 Wherever humans go microbes will surely follow, and
the Space Station is no exception - November 6, 2000
Microbes were the first inhabitants of the Space Station:
virus, bacteria, and fungi
Pose threat to the station crew, and attack materials
and hardware of the attack.
 They were carried there on ISS hardware and by the
assembly crews.
Protection:
Test each crewmate for infection before launch
Microbes must also be kept from growing on
surfaces.
Have a healthy crew going up there.

6. Life on Space ..Research Work
Protein crystal studies
Tissue culture
Life in low gravity
Flames, fluids and metal in space
The nature of space
Watching the Earth
Commercialization

7. Life on Sapce..Interesting Facts
 The Space Station is the largest manned object with 43,000
cubic feet of living and working space.
70 separate major components and hundreds of minor ones, all
of which will be assembled for the first time in space.
Assembling the Space Station will require at least 45 launches
and over 1,705 hours of space walks.

8. Life on Space..Human Body
 Humans need a little less sleep in space because our bodies
do very little work in a microgravity environment. It takes no
effort at all to raise an arm, hold your head up, or move a
bulky object.
The human body tends to lose muscle and bone mass rapidly
in space. To fight this loss, at least two hours of strenuous
exercise is built into every astronaut's daily schedule.
 The Space Station is the most expensive single object ever
built. The United States' participation has been estimated at
$96 billion - a figure that nearly equals the combined cost of all
of the Apollo missions to the moon.

9. Life on Space..Water
 The vapors expelled from the
crew’s sweat are condensed and
recycled by MSFC - Marshall Space
Flight Center.
 A full complement of 72 rats would
equal about one human in terms of
water reclamation.

10. Life on Space..Breathing
 Life support systems on the ISS
provide oxygen, absorb carbon
dioxide, and manage vaporous
emissions from the astronauts
themselves.
 Making oxygen from water
from a process called
"electrolysis," which uses
electricity from the ISS solar
panels to split water into hydrogen
gas and oxygen gas.
