Space travelers in orbit above the Earth
eat, work, exercise, relax, maintain hygiene, and sleep. The only
significant differences from living on Earth are that they operate
in the confines of the space shuttle and all objects inside the cabin
float. (1994, 10 min) resource guide |

Manipulating a satellite on a tether from
the orbiter is a unique engineering challenge. Because gravity, centrifugal
acceleration, and atmospheric drag vary with altitude, each of the
two bodies in a tethered system is subject to different influences.

Answers four basic questions: How do space
craft travel in space? How do they remain in orbit and return to Earth?
Why do astronauts float in space? (1991, 20 min) resource guide |
