stations for a short time However it wasn t until the late 1980s when The Soviet Union sent the Mir space station that people began to live in space for a longer time Mir stayed in space from 1989

meals on space station are put together on Earth and sent there by space shuttle Because the food has to last a long time sometimes up to three months a lot of it has to be stored in cans The space station does not have a fridge but it has a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh Astronauts also eat many other foods such as dried meat that do not need special care Without the help of
