What you'll learn
- Pre-Launch Preparation and Training. Astronauts undergo rigorous physical training to prepare their bodies for the extreme conditions of spaceflight.
- The Launch and Journey to Orbit. A rocket launches an astronaut straight up, burns fuel fast, and then something surprising happens: it tips sideways. That sideways motion is the whole secret to reaching orbit.
- Life and Work Aboard the ISS. On Earth, you wake up, your feet touch the floor, gravity pulls you down—everything stays put. Aboard the International Space Station, astronauts wake up floating.
