A Day in the Life of an Astronaut: Inside the Space Station .
An astronaut's day on the International Space Station (ISS) is busy and includes a variety of tasks, from scientific research to maintenance:

Morning: Astronauts wake up, brush their teeth, and eat breakfast. They also check their schedule and draw blood samples.

Work: Astronauts work in two shifts, with a break for lunch. They conduct experiments, perform routine maintenance, and check the station's systems.

Exercise: Astronauts exercise for two hours a day on the treadmill and exercise bike.

Lunch: The crew eats lunch together in the Zvezda Service Module.

Afternoon: After lunch, the crew takes a break and returns to work.

Evening: The crew checks the cabin's air pressure, finishes tasks, and cleans experiments. They also have a daily planning conference to prepare for the next day.

Bed: The crew dresses quickly and gets ready for bed.
Astronauts wear disposable clothes that are replaced every three days. They wash with wet towels, as there are no showers or washstands on the ISS. To wash their hair, they use a shampoo that works without water and wipe it out with a dry towel.

Spacewalks are expensive, time consuming, and dangerous, so they only happen when necessary.
