Yes well the life aboard the international space station is absolutely incredible of course it's fundamentally microgravity portrayed so we're up there to do scientific research the crew work extremely hard a whole range of different scientific experiments but of course the space station is also been out there for twenty years now so it does require some maintenance activity as well and we have to keep ourselves physically fit in space so that we can bear the punishment of skrabets when we return so that means you're pretty busy up there. very busy indeed and of course alex it will be his seco...

A really important opportunity for scientific research but what are the challenges of carrying out these experiments. well of course the main challenge is microgravity which is the reason we're out there but of course astronauts are well trained in how to deal with that of course it's also difficult to get items into space it's expensive and we need to maximize the opportunities that we have for doing scientific research but the space station has been up there for twenty years now and we have very use a very active scientific program and so the amount of science that we're doing on a daily bas...

Metal alloys and a lot of human physiology experiments as well tell us more about the research that this crew is going to carry out. who are on board the space station we actually have a rolling science program we have a number of different payloads up there and so any crew that goes up just takes over the science experiments of the running at the time but as i mentioned human physiology is one area that microgravity research is teaching us an awful lot about the human body when we go into space so much many things change from our eyesight to our cardiovascular pressure to our bone density atr...
