Holly's Lances Lab.

Lance’s   LAB                                          A famous Rock star called Lance Bass has currently been sent up to space for three months. Lance has to face the difficulties of living in space, Recording his new hit single, do experiments, eating, sleeping, washing, having fun and relaxing.
                                                                                                                                               
DAILY LIVING                                                                                                                              
To go to the toilet in space, Lance needs to use a sucker. When Lance goes he will pull the sucker down and it will dispose of his sewage, it goes down thought into a tank                                        

To wash his hands there is a block of soap and a tube of water. When he dries his Hands he has to uses a normal hand towel but instead of the hand towel sitting on a table it is velcrowed to the wall. When Lance goes to sleep he lays in his bed which is velcrowed to the ground and while he sleeps he has velcrow strapped across him. The Velcro strapped across him isn’t too tight but it is tight enough that he can still move around. It is also tight enough to keep his pillow, body, and blanket in place. When Lance washes his clothes he uses his block of soap and wipes it all over his clothes. Then gets his water and squirts it all over until the soap has all washed off. Then to dry his clothes he uses a pump that shoots out hot air.
COMMUNACATION
When Lance needs to communicate with his family and friend he uses his laptop which has Skype and the internet. To get on to the internet and Skype Lance uses a special satellite to connect with.
Music
When   Lance wants to play some music he can go into a special room which is sound proof. The instruments that Lance has are a guitar, microphone and a recorder so he can record his songs.
EXERCISE
Lance can exercise using an ab-circul-pro and a treadmill. Both the ab-circul-pro and the treadmill are bolted to the ground. When Lance uses the treadmill and the ab-circul-pro he has to wear a gravity strap so he doesn’t float away.
FOOD
Lance has lots of canned and tinned food. Because he has lots he has to keep them stored in a cupboard. The cupboard is bolted to the wall so it doesn’t float out.
EXPERIMENTS
When Lance wants to do some experiments he uses liquids and a plastic tube one experiment Lance has been working on is why people start to lose their minds in space.
It will be quite difficult for Lance living in space. But Lance has all the things he needs and he should be all right.

Lance is a famous rock star who is currently spending three months in space where he is going to have to face the difficulties of space and also write his new hit single do experiments, eat, sleep and basically live in space at the same time which is not easy.
Daily Living
Toilet:
To go to the toilet in space lance has a suction tube, which he has to attach to the toilet while he goes. For it to suck he has to squeeze it. The sewage then goes through the tube and into a tank that can hold 250litres of sewage.
Washing/Staying clean:
To wash his face lance has to get a clean cloth and drip two or three drops of water on it. Then he wipes his face with the damp cloth. To brush his teeth he does the same thing we do on earth, except he uses less water and tooth paste.
Sleeping:
Lance has to sleep in a pouch bed with straps. It is rather comfortable and the straps stop him from floating away while he is sleeping. On the outside it has a built in alarm clock, that is built especially for people who go to space.
Food:
To eat lance has to eat canned and Freeze dried food. He eats with spoon and fork for a knife is not needed. He has enough food to last him the whole three months. To cook his canned food he has a microwave, with built in magnetic force, so the food doesn’t fly everywhere.
Music:
Lance does his music in a sound proof room, so he can concentrate more on what his music sounds like. He records his music on a sound recorder. Lances music room is one of the warmest rooms in the space shuttle, because it has a small heater. This is one of the places he goes when he wants to chill out.
Exercise:
To exercise Lance has a running machine. It has straps that stop him from floating off it. Lance has to do this to stay healthy.
Experiments:
Lances science lab is another place he hangs out when he gets bored. It’s where he does his experiments. It has Velcro walls which hold his water, toiletry, and his science equipment. He also has a mini pull out table which Velcro’s to the floor, so he has somewhere to do his science projects, on plants and other objects.
Communication:
To communicate with earth Lance has two electronic items, an ipad and laptop. With these he can go on Skype and face book. Outside of the space shuttle is a satellite, so he can connect to Skype, face book and other obligations on Google.
Fun and Relaxation:
To relax in space Lance relaxes and hangs out in his lab and his music room, he has a lot of fun in those two rooms. He loves doing his experiments in his science lab and writing his new hit single in his music room.
As you can see it is very quite difficult for Lance to live in space but he didn’t just go to space to do his experiments or write his new hit single, he also went there to have fun.

Lance's Lab - Matthew


Lance Bass is a rock star.  He is currently living in space on the ISS (International space station). He wants to write a song about space so he has gone to space to get some ideas.  He also went because he wanted to see if it was easy to record music there.  Lance must also communicate back to earth and conduct experiments in his module.

Living
Lance Bass has a comfortable living quarters.  His bed is like a sleeping bag but it is on the wall.  It is on the wall because there is no gravity in space and it saves room. He has Velcro shoes and Velcro carpet so it holds him down.  Lance has a fridge which is bolted to the wall with Velcro strips inside.  Inside the fridge is canned food with Velcro the bottom of them so it sticks to the fridge. To cook his food he uses a microwave with again Velcro.  To eat his food Lance uses a spoon and just spoons it into his mouth.  If some fly’s away he quickly grabs it. Once Lance has gone to the toilet he closes the toilet lid and turns the suction pump on.  The pump sucks up all the human waste and holds it in a holding tank on the wall.  On the other wall is a two metre wide Velcro pad where he stores his water and cloths.  His water is held in sachets with nozzles.  To brush his teeth Lance must use a few drops of water which he has to catch on his tooth brush.  To wash his clothes Lance has a washing machine that uses little water. There is no gravity in space so as a result of that the clothes tumble by themselves.


Exercise
To exercise Lance has a machine that pulls him down while he is doing squats.  His shoes are Velcro to hold him in place.
Music
Lance has a small sound proof room at the front of his module. To record music Lance sings it into a microphone records it, puts it on his laptop and edits it (if he needs to).the he can send it to earth through his high powered satellite.
Communication
To communicate Lance has a high powered satellite.  On the wall is a screen which he can see the person he is talking to.  It is kind of like Skype but a lot more advanced.
Science
Lance has a science shelf on the side  of his module. He is experimenting on how far sound carries in space.

Evan-Lances Lab

Nineteen year-old pop sensation Lance Bass has signed a contract to release an album from the I.S.S (International Space Station). While he is up there, he will conduct an experiment to examine the effects of gravity on regular, and bacteria life. Inside Lance’s pod on the I.S.S, he will need, a recording studio, a place to work on his project, a place to exercise, a way to communicate with earth, and of course, a place to relax and have fun.
                                                                                       Communication:
Lance's Lab




Lance has a basic way of communicating. He has an i-pad2 that has been fixed to the wall. He has a personal satellite which can connect to earth. Lance has various internet Apps. Such as, Facebook, Twitter, Skype and a g-mail account. He also posts videos taken around the station onto You-tube, so everyone can see what he’s up to.
                                                                                                                                             Experiments:
Scientists have noticed that the effects of living in space can cause memory loss and the loss of taste buds, Lance will record his experience with this. He has said he will also grow bacteria on special dishes to test the effects of gravity on a different form of life. He has reserved some space in his recording equipment where he keeps his samples. They are kept at a perfect temperature constantly.



Music:
For his recording setup, Lance has a large metal supercomputer that takes up one fifth of his station. There is a microphone attached to the equipment. For instruments, he has a keytar, which is the genius combination of a keyboard and an electric guitar. It is used for pop and techno music. There is a valcro strap that keeps it stuck to the wall. He has blank C.Ds that he inserts into a customizer slot in supercomputer. Once inside, he can burn music onto the disc, he also can edit the artwork for the album cover and the C.D cover when it is still inside.  

Exercise:
Even up in the I.S.S it is important to stay fit. That is why Lance has good equipment. Firstly, he has a specially designed treadmill, it has shoulder pads which he wears, they are connected to the treadmill with tough elastic straps that hold him down. By wearing them he won’t float away by the lack of gravity. Secondly, he has dance mixes he plays on the pod’s built in stereo system (Lance loves to dance). The last form of exercise is his Jenny Craig D.V.D he plays on his built in D.V.D player. He watches it on his 52 inch T.V which is mounted into the wall.



Living:
­­Just like on earth, some things still need to be done. Such as sleeping and disposal of waste. He also needs to relax and enjoy himself. For a bed, Lance has something similar to what you might find on earth. It is a small pod-like shape, inside is a mattress, a pillow and a blanket. There are seatbelts to stop Lance from floating away. He has a mini-fridge where he keeps his freeze dried food which he cooks in his microwave that has been designed especially to cook freeze dried meals. In his fridge, he also has water. In the cold, vast area of space, water is kept in small packets; each packet has a nozzle coming out the top. When he squeezes the bag, a small amount of water comes out the nozzle.
Lance has his own bathroom. His bathroom contains a “urinal pipe” which pushes liquid out into space. For bigger waste, something similar is used. It is a toilet-shaped object which disposes excrement when you push the red button above it.                                                                                                                      There are cloths in the bathroom which he uses to clean his belongings by squirting a small amount of water onto the cloth; he also puts water on his toothbrush to clean his teeth. It’s important to stay clean in space. Lance is a gaming addict; he has a PlayStation 3 and games such as Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Final Fantasy one to fourteen. He also has a magnetic chess board so he can challenge other passengers on the I.S.S.


Lance will be on the I.S.S for three months. He will carry on life as a citizen of New Zealand by doing things regularly done on earth, such as sleeping, exercise, record music and of course work on his project.

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.

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.

William's Lances Lab

Lance the famous pop star singer has signed a contract to fly up to the ISS for 3 months to experience what music sounds like in space. People at NASA have ordered a space Pod to be built for him .On the I.S.S it will encourage his mind to work apropeletle to the conditions of zero gravity
Protecting the Lab
In space comets and space junk fly around, sometimes a piece space junk hits the ISS if it hits a big part of the ISS it courses no problem but if it hits a smaller part, it can mean trouble laces lab has been installed with protective padding to stop it from making a big hole in the side.
LAB
The lab is the most protected part of the craft it has blast doors, for the experiment area the glass tubes are strapped down to the table he will be particles in space to find different chemicals.
Music
In his recording room he has a laptop which records music.
Communication
Lances laptop is connected to a transmitter which connects up to a satalight. It has a webcam to show his face.
Exercise
Bolted to the floor is a spiral treadmill that has velcrove belt and comes with Velcro shoes to stick to the treadmill so he doesn’t float away.
Living
His bed is attached to the wall. The bed is like a sleeping bag. Installed into the wall is a sink that only drops one drop of water at a time. For entertainment there is a TV connected to the wall and on the compartment there are some cool games.
Over all Lances trip to space will be a great achievement for man and music players alike.

Leihana's Lance's Lab Report.

Lance Bass is a famous rock star who is in space for three months. He has to write music, do experiments, eat, communicate with the people on earth and basically live a normal life. In this report you will learn how Lance lives in the ISS (International Space St ation)  and why he is there.

Communication:
Lance has a specialised TV so he can communicate with his family back on Earth. When any member of his family is on Skype or any internet site, he will get a little message at the bottom of his TV (which is touch)        


Music:
Lance has a soundproof studio with his basic instruments such as the bass, guitar, microphone and the drums.  His instruments have Velcro on the back of them and the Velcro is stuck to the wall so they don’t float, his microphone is on a stand and is bolted into the ground and is adjustable. He has a recording box with auto tune just to make his voice a bit better.
Living:
Lance has to wash, so he uses water which is in a special container so the water doesn’t float up and hit the electrical parts in the lab, his towel is stuck on Velcro so like the water it doesn’t float and he has normal toiletry such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and a comb. Lance has to brush his teeth with water and toothpaste then has to spit it back into his towel. He has nice clothes for space they are coloured grey and blue and he has special Velcro socks and shoes so he doesn’t float. (But if he wants to float he just takes he socks and shoes off!)  Lance’s food is a bit better for starters he has a snack machine! He doesn’t have to cook anything he just has to push a button and the machine has breakfast, lunch and dinner stored in it for his three months.

Relaxing:
Lance has his own room just for fun, relaxing and even exercise. He has a TV, stereo, a DVD player and a lot of games. One of them is Guitar Hero (it’s like practice for him.) Lance wears his Velcro socks, so he can play without getting distracted while he is floating! He has a sleeping bag which is attached to the wall and when he is about to go to sleep he puts a strap over the top so he doesn’t float away in his sleep.
His exercise is just three basic machines an AB circle pro, treadmill and Wii Fit. Lance AB circle pro is pretty easy he only uses his arms to hold him down and he swings his legs from left to right. The treadmill is a little bit different he has to be strapped down. With his Wii Fit he is wearing his Velcro socks and his board also has Velcro so he is attached to it.
Why go into space???
1)     Lance is going into space for inspiration.
2)    Also he is doing an experiment.
3)     His experiment is: Why do you lose your memory and sense of taste in space???

The ISS is very comfortable for Lance. He has all he needs to live well and is improving h is space skills every day! GO LANCE!
