Chris Lances Lab

Lance Bass is a world famous Pop Star. He has been sent on a three month expedition to the ISS, International Space Station, to see how well he will cope in space. This report will explain how he will do his washing, exercising, experiments, record his music communicate  with his friends on earth and do his day to day tasks in his space module.

Music

In the mini recording booth, Lance has foot straps to keep him from floating off while recording. His guitar is attached with Velcro to the wall so it doesn’t float when he is not using it. He has a mini recording sound desk where he can playback his songs, and adjust to his liking. He then saves the finished versions onto a usb stick, and inserts it onto his Laptop. There he adds images and sends it through a satellite dish which is under his module. The satellite then sends waves to a big satellite before going down to earth.

Experiments

Lance is required to make experiments in space as part of his mission. He will be figuring out how to use a pen in space. How to write with it without the pens ink all flowing out, or just staying in one place. One idea he has found is to use a pressurised air valve which will let the ink flow for one minute if you blow into it. There is also a button which opens/closes a hatch inside the pen, so the ink doesn’t flow when not being used. This is being tested at the moment.

Exercise

In space there is no gravity to pull you down while you exercise. So in Lances module there is a treadmill with squat poles on the side. These also have shoulder straps so he has something to keep him strapped to the ground. He also has moveable foot straps. Which move when you run.

 Communication

In space communication is very similar to back on earth. Lance has a laptop and a T.V for communication. The signal is sent through a satellite dish which is under his module. This is sent to the nearest large satellite before being sent down to earth.  Also on his laptop  he has Skype which he can speak with his family and friends. His T.V is very similar to his laptop. It has Skype also and is used for business, interviews and playing music live.

Living

Doing daily tasks is hard because there is barely any water and you aren’t allowed much energy for your devices.  Even when eating it is different. To heat up his food lance has a solar powered microwave which uses sun beams to warm food until it gets cooked. He will Lance Bass is a world famous Pop Star.

Living

Doing daily tasks is hard because there is barely any water and you aren’t allowed much energy for your devices.  Even when eating it is different. To heat up his food lance has a solar powered microwave which uses sun beams to warm food until it gets cooked. He will use a soapy type of water to wash his clothes. And instead of using a normal dryer. He has a sun window. Where a very strong beam of sunlight goes through and sun dries the clothes. For personal hygiene he has a suction toilet. Which has a pipe to suck up his waste. For a shower all he will a towel and a packet of water. He will use a small amount to refresh himself every day. He will also use a small amount of water for brushing his teeth. As for sleeping he will not be able to sleep in an ordinary bed as gravity would lift the sheets and Lance into the air. So he uses a sleeping bag stuck to the wall. He will also have a seat belt so he won’t float up.  Lance will also have a laptop and T.V to relax. His T.V has every channel available. And the laptop is stocked full of the latest games. All expenses paid.

Lance Bass has been on the ISS for one month. He still has two months to go. So far he has figured out some answers to the pen problem. He has carried out his operation on the funnel effect pen. He has had meeting with developers all around the world using Skype. His exercise programs have been going well. His living has been difficult though. He has been finding it odd. Sometimes forgetting he’s in space. On his time left he said he would like to finish his work on the pen experiment. He would also like to see his family soon and is considering taking the next flight home.
