1 By: Joey McCarty ALL ABOUT ASTRONAUTS!!

2 Training and workouts! The average astronaut training is 2 years! They need to take a basic science class which includes math, astronomy, physics, geology, meteorology, oceanography. They will learn technology, navigational systems, and orbital systems. They are taught parachute jumping, land and sea survival techniques, scuba diving and ways to overcome high and low atmospheres. They also have to pass a swimming test. Pilot astronauts are given 15 hours of flying training per month in T-38 jets. Mission specialists are given 4 hours of flight training.

3 FOOD!!!! They can eat fruit and cookies etc.
They can have ketchup, mayo, and mustard but they have to be liquid. Salt and pepper can be brought up too but they are in a liquid form too. Otherwise, it would get stuck in their eyes, float around, and can’t even be sprinkled on. Drinks range from coffee, tea, orange juice, fruit punches and lemonade

4 Space suits! Astronauts need gloves, space boots, sunglasses, and watches. Long spandex underwear is worn and the cool water flows which eliminates the body heat produced by the astronaut. The cooling water comes from the spacesuit's backpack unit or from the spacecraft through a cord The helmet allows the astronaut to breath, stay alive, and able to communicate!

5 Thanks For watching!!
