Space travel becomes possible not only through technological achievements but also through detailed planning aimed at preserving human health. At the forefront of these plans is the astronauts’ nutrition regimen. In a microgravity environment, the selection, storage, and consumption of food occur under conditions vastly different from those on Earth. Nutrition in space does more than simply sustain the body; it also supports psychological resilience.The Importance of Balanced NutritionThe energy

The Giant Home in Space 🏠🌌The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest science laboratory in space! Astronauts live there, conduct experiments, and orbit Earth 16 times a day. The ISS was built through the joint efforts of different countries and functions like a massive spacecraft.Astronauts perform scientific experiments, grow plants, and study how their bodies change in microgravity. They also exercise, eat meals, and communicate with Earth. Their daily routines are highly planned b
