The temperature would have to be regulated inside the module to make sure it is neither too hot nor too cold. Around the Earth and Moon, temperatures could reach 250° F where the Sun shines to - 250° F when there is no sunlight. Heat is generated inside the spacecraft by both the sunlight outside and by all the equipment operating inside. This heat must be removed by using a mechanically- ...

For the Space Shuttle it takes about three days from the moment the engines ignite at launch to the moment the Shuttle docks with the ISS. It is possible to do it in less time; however, astronauts need the extra time to recover from any motion sickness, and to verify that all on board systems are working properly ---- Answer provided by Hazel McAndrews Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question ...

Many countries will be content to just keep firing unmanned rockets from their launch sites, for scientific and other ...

On the outside the temperature ranges from -170° F on the shady side to 135° F on the sunny side. But on the inside the crew compartment is controlled to a temperature range of 65° to 80° F, and the humidity is regulated to a range of 30 to 75 percent. (Ref. 1) Ref 1.NASA, National Space Transportation System Reference, Volume 1 Systems and Facilities, June 1988. This document is ...

It depends on the mission. Some missions might require that you stay on the spacecraft all the time to conduct experiments. Others might include a spacewalk—NASA calls it extra vehicular activity, or EVA— in a spacesuit. But on a mission to re-supply the ISS, say, there might be an opportunity to go on the space station, stay for a while, and then come home. The options and variations ...
