⋆1. Astronauts sleep in sleeping bags. The microgravity makes them weightless.

toothbrushing, a small amount of water is used with toothpaste and then swallowed.
⋆3. The crew spend their day doing science experiments. They also carry out checks
for the maintenance of the station. The Mission Control Centre on Earth supports
their operations.
⋆4. The astronauts eat various foods such as fruits, nuts, chicken, beef, seafood,
brownies, salt and pepper (in liquid form), etc. Drinks include coffee, tea, and fruit
juice (all packaged). Foods can be heated up or kept cool with special machines.
⋆5. A popular pastime while orbiting Earth is simply looking out of the windows to
admire its beauty. In their free time, astronauts exercise, watch movies, play music,
read books, play cards, and talk to their families.
