What is the space for one year experience See Sunrise and sunset

　　United States astronaut Scott Kelly (Scott Kelly) and Russia Cosmonaut mihayier·keerniyanke (Mikhail Kornienko) a one-year mission will be finished this week, in honor of this milestone, United States Space Agency (NASA) has released a piece of information, detailing their physical changes that occur in a microgravity environment.

　　First of all, we would explain why Scott Kelly they need to complete the "a year for living in space" mission. Information obtained for this task will be the development of Mars exploration (estimated time of return takes 3 years) plan has been a big help. Mars exploration missions will require long time decrease in gravity environment, whether in space, also is on the surface of Mars. To put it bluntly, "a year for living in space" the ultimate goal is to help human Mars exploration.

　　One year in space, is what kind of experience? We take a look at. disney

　　1, Scott Kelly see 10,944 times of sunrise and sunset, and see only 684 people on Earth; disney ipad

　　2, 383 experiments to do, that is to say, sometimes more than a day to do an experiment. Obtained through experiments the astronauts living in space for a long time medical, physiological, and biochemical information.

　　3, he will take 700 hours of exercise, to keep the bones, muscles and heart function, and runs about 1043 kilometers on a bicycle.

　　4, Scott Kelly will be 730 l drinking recycled purified urine and sweat;

　　5, Scott Kelly will produce about 180 pounds of manure, the manure drying after processing in Russia the progress capsule, last will and other waste from the space station to burn in the atmosphere, which will Flash in the sky like a meteor shower

　　International space station's toilet costs a lot of money, possibly more than $ 19 million, US $ 250 million in the total cost of the space station.

　　It was reported that the astronauts aboard the international space station toilet, toilet is by means of the suction system, some waste recycling at the international space station. On Earth, we use the toilet about 30 to 45 cm in diameter, but in space, astronauts in the stools must adapt to the diameter of only 10 cm opening. A space toilet works like a vacuum cleaner, use different pressures of solid waste out.

　　Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko will altogether 342 days spent at the international space station, the purpose of this task is to better understand the long-term effects of space on the human body. Scott Kelly is 51 years old, in which nearly a year, he will have 730 litres of water, urine and sweat from recycling.

　　In the name of "space years" (the Year in Space) of tasks at the same time, NASA is also a "twin study", Scott Kelly's body in space with his twin brother's index. So high I don't know, I'm more concerned about, will Scott Kelly will be living in the space looks more young and energetic? Just like saying it.
