What is a typical day in the life of an astronaut?
assistant
On a typical day, an astronaut wakes up early in the morning, usually around 6 a.m. After breakfast, they check in with mission control, complete their assigned tasks, and get ready for their training schedule. They can complete physical activities, like running in a zero-gravity treadmill, practice space-related activities like spacewalks, or do maintenance and systems checks on the spacecraft. During their lunch break, they can relax, have some time to take in the stunning views outside the spacecraft, or talk to their mission control team. In the evening, they play board games, read, watch a movie, or work on their hobbies to stay entertained. After dinner, they check in with mission control again, do some workplace maintenance and round out the day by winding down with their fellow astronauts before heading to bed.
