Astronaut

Imagine floating high above the Earth, looking down at our beautiful planet. That is what an astronaut does! Astronauts are super-brave scientists and explorers who travel into space. They live and work on the International Space Station, which is like a big science lab orbiting the Earth. They do exciting experiments to learn more about space, our planet, and how things work in zero gravity. They also fix things on the space station and sometimes even go on spacewalks outside! To become an astronaut, you need to be very smart, good at science and maths, and also very fit and healthy. You also need to be a great team player, as you will be working very closely with other astronauts for a long time.
