Astronauts

Astronauts (called cosmonauts in Russia and taikonauts in China) go through a thorough training program. They study math and science in classrooms. They learn to operate their spacecraft by using computer-controlled simulators. These devices present astronauts with conditions that they will later experience during actual flight. Astronauts also must improve their physical fitness. They make special trips in airplanes to get used to the feeling of weightlessness.​

Atronauts cont.

Humans cannot survive in outer space on their own. The environment is not the same as it is on Earth. Astronauts therefore travel in space in tightly sealed compartments. They bring their own supply of oxygen with them. Once in space, astronauts may conduct scientific experiments. They also may make repairs to their spacecraft or other equipment in space. They wear heavy space suits for work outside the spacecraft.
