Your Mission: Follow the development of three plants for 12 weeks to explore germination and plant growth. If astronauts are going to settle on the Moon, or explore further reaches of our Solar System, they …
Your Mission: Identify which plants are suitable for growing in space as a good source of nutrition for astronauts. Food is one of the most important parts of our lives because it provides the fuel …
Your Mission: Investigate which factors affect plant growth, and relate these factors to growing plants in space. All the things we take for granted on Earth are either absent or different in space. In space, …
Your Mission: Explore the anatomy of the hand and build a bionic hand from cardboard. In a near future, it is expected that crews of astronauts and humanoid robots will work together to exploit space. …
Your Mission: Perform a reaction time activity using a ruler to practice hand-eye coordination and concentration. In preparation for space travel, astronauts invest many hours in practicing their hand-eye reaction time. Operating the robotic arm …
Your Mission: Perform the “bear crawl” and “crab walk” to increase muscular strength and improve upper and lower body coordination. In a reduced gravity environment, astronauts are unable to walk like they do on Earth. …
Your Mission: Perform a series of somersaults on the ground to improve body coordination, flexibility, balance and strengthen your back, abdominal and leg muscles. In the microgravity environment of the International Space Station astronauts can …
Your Mission: Train with a cycle to improve leg muscles, cardio-vascular fitness and endurance. One exercise device that is regularly used by astronauts on the International Space Station is the cycle ergometer. The cycle provides …
Your Mission: Perform throwing and catching techniques on one foot to improve balance and spatial awareness. On Earth, we use a variety of cues to sense the position of our bodies, while stationary or moving. …
Your Mission: Perform jump training with a rope to improve strength and endurance. On Earth, humans experience the effects of gravity pulling on the human body which applies a constant force, or loading effect. This …
