Astronauts currently stationed on the International Space Station, or ISS, prepared pizzas in zero gravity on Monday. Timelapse footage from the station shows the team of astronauts throwing pizzas to one another as they floated in mid-air. ISS Manager Kirk Shireman decided to surprise the astronauts with the ingredients for making pizzas, after the topic was brought up at a live public event.
Space is the final frontier for a reason, it is the most dangerous place we have ever ventured. Not only are the temperatures close to absolute zero and the space radiation absolutely deadly, just being in the anti-gravity environment of space and eat away muscles on astronauts and cosmonauts. In order to address this issue, scientists from Moscow’s Institute of Medical and Biological Problems tested their centrifuge technology spinner, which they hope could create artificial gravity in space. Creating artificial gravity in space could solve many of the issues connected to weightlessness in reduced gravity environments, such as allowing cosmonauts and astronauts to complete any task on board space stations much faster and alleviating the negative influences of microgravity on the body. Centrifuge technology may make it into space within the next decade.
A Soyuz-MS 02 spacecraft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Wednesday, bound for the International Space Station. The spacecraft is carrying Russian cosmonaut Sergey Ryzhikov, Kazakh cosmonaut Andrei Borisenko, and US astronaut Shane Kimbrough, who will spend four months aboard the ISS to conduct experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science before returning home in February.
