What Does an Astronaut Do?

An astronaut is a special person who goes to space! Space is where the stars and planets are, far away from Earth. Let’s learn step by step what astronauts do:

1. They Train Hard

Astronauts have to practice a lot. They learn how to fly in rockets and what to do in space. It’s like playing a game, but they have to be very serious!

2. They Wear Special Suits

When astronauts go to space, they wear big, cool suits. These suits keep them safe and help them breathe. They look like superheroes!

3. They Fly in Rockets

Astronauts first get into a rocket, which is a big spaceship. Then, the rocket goes really fast and takes them up, up, up into space!

4. They Float and Explore

In space, there’s no gravity, so astronauts can float! They look at Earth from above and see stars very close. They also do experiments to learn more about space.

5. They Come Back Home

After their adventures, astronauts come back down to Earth in their rocket. They tell everyone what they saw and learned in space. They are like heroes who go to the stars!

So, astronauts help us understand space and keep us safe while they explore. Isn’t that amazing?
