Carli's Lances Lab

Lances Lab Report

 Lance Bass the singing superstar is going to space for three months and will be staying on the ISS (International Space Station). This report will outline what his compartment will be like in space, how he records music and how he communicates back to earth.

Living

Lances everyday tasks in space are much different than back on earth. The food defiantly not the same to earths. Lance can’t have normal food because it would float everywhere so instead Lance’s food is contained in cans but not the average can it’s been designed pacifically for space. Food is stored in big sacks which are held down by straps and Velcro.

The toilet isn’t a normal toilet. Instead of having water to flush it, it has a suction valve at the bottom so when you do your business it sucks it straight into a tank.

Due to there being no gravity lance will be sleeping in a bed similar to a coffin. This coffin has air holes around it. On the inside there are straps to strap him in and a latch so he can get in and out. He does have a washing machine in space. It uses very little water and has suction vents at the bottom to stop the clothes from floating everywhere in the machine.

He relaxes by listening to music on the laptop and playing computer games on the laptop.

Communication   

Lance uses pretty much the same devices as we use on earth. He uses a laptop and a satellite dish to connect to such things as Facebook, Skype and Twitter. He’s got his own profiles on each of these sites so he can talk to his friends and family back on earth. On Facebook he has a special page where all he does is talk about space and what he has been through.

Music

Lance loves to record music so in space he needs a place to do that. On the ISS there is a special music room made for Lance. It has all the equipment he will need such as; a guitar, laptop and a voice recorder. His guitar but at the bottom of it there are two bits of Velcro. That is necessary when he is playing it so it doesn’t float everywhere.

He uses his voice recorder for recording his vocals. He uses a programme where he connects his voice recorder into his laptop and it downloads his music and sends it to his producer back on earth using the satellite.

Space

Lance didn’t just go to space for the experience, he went for the experiments. He wanted to know facts like how do you write, read and most of all eat in space. Lance  will have a difficult time trying to do the simplest thing that people do back on earth. He says he’s up for the challenge. Some foods will be hard for him to eat because being in space effects the taste buds.

While Lance is on the ISS he will have a hard time trying to work out how everything runs. He will have to find a way to make a living with what he’s got and use the resources he has to live and communicate back down to earth. He will record music in his recording room as well as study space. Lets hope Lance will really enjoy his time in space.
