🌡️ Temperatures outside the International Space Station
swing from 120°C to -160°C as it orbits Earth.

👩‍🚀 Inside, astronauts enjoy a comfortable average of 20°C.

🔄 To keep it cool, a smart thermal control system uses water & ammonia loops, air conditioning and radiators.

Yet, it is also a powerful tool for exploring the world around us and the boundaries of our perceptions. As The Mad Hatter from Lewis Carroll's "Through The Looking Glass" says, "In the gardens of memory, in the palace of dreams, that is where you and I shall meet." Similarly, Markus Klinko's photography allows us to enter a world of wonder and surrealism where the line between reality and imagination is blurred. Markus peered through his own looking glass, capturing images that challenge our notions of what is possible and offer new perspectives on the world we inhabit. Price: On Application

#LivingInSpace #WorldSpaceWeek @exploration.esa.int
Infografica che mostra i diversi tipi di cibo nello spazio. 1) Reidratabili. Basta aggiungere acqua prima di consumarli. 2) Cibo in scatola, in bustine o in contenitori di plastica. Generalmente cotto prima di essere inscatolato e quindi da consumare direttamente dal contenitore. 3) Frutta e verdura, vengono consumate entro brevissimo tempo dall'arrivo a bordo. La frutta secca può rimanere in dispensa più a lungo. 4) Bevande. Basta aggiungere dell'acqua dall'apposito dispenser per trasformare la polvere in una bevanda.

☢️ Un giorno nello spazio espone gli astronauti alle radiazioni che le persone sulla Terra ricevono in un anno 📆 👩‍🚀 . #LivingInSpace #WorldSpaceWeek #WSW2025
Infografica che mostra i rischi da esposizione alle radiazioni nello spazio. Per viaggi verso la Luna e Marte si moltiplica per 700, a bordo della Stazione Spaziale Internazionale x250, più bassi i valori per viaggi in aereo o in montagna. Sulla Terra, siamo prodetti dall'atmosfera terrestre e dal campo geomagnetico. Sulla destra, sulla sagoma di un corpo umano, sono indicate le parti del corpo più a rischio. Un giorno nello spazio equivale a un anno intero di radiazioni qui sulla Terra.

L'infografica mostra la capacità dei diversi contenitori e quando devono essere svuotati. Il water utilizza dai 50 ai 100ml di acqua per ogni scarico. Ci sono tre 'bagni' sulla Stazione Spaziale Internazionale, rispettivamente nei moduli Zvezda, Tranquillity e Nauka.
