Life on the Space Station

Astronauts on the International Space Station have a busy schedule. Every day they wake up at
7:00 GMT1. From 7:00 to 8:00, they wash up and eat breakfast. At 8:00 in the morning, they call Ground
Control2 in their countries. After they talk to Ground Control, their workday begins. The astronauts don’t
do the same thing every day. Their schedules change every week. The astronauts don’t work all the
time. Each day they exercise for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. After dinner,
they have free time. Then, it’s time to go to sleep. Sometimes this isn’t easy because the sun rises
and sets 16 times each day on the space station. The astronauts’ work doesn’t end on Friday. They
work a half-day on Saturday and all day on Sunday. Astronauts are very busy people.
