This month we are celebrating 20 years of continuous human presence on the International Space Station (ISS)! In honor of this major milestone, we are featuring ISS themed trivia questions. Test your knowledge below!
How often must astronauts exercise while living and working in space onboard the ISS?
Correct!Wrong!
Working and living in space has its challenges, including the loss of muscle and bone mass during long duration space stays. To stay fit and combat these adverse effects of microgravity on the human body, astronauts must exercise a minimum of two hours per day, according to NASA! This workout time is factored into their daily schedules to ensure the astronauts stay healthy during their stay on station. Much has been learned about the effects of microgravity on the human body throughout 20 years of uninterrupted human presence on station. Scientists and researchers continue to learn more about these effects through experiments and studies onboard the ISS. During your next visit don't forget to stop by our International Space Station Gallery, where you can learn more about the ISS and life in space!
