1. A casual work
outfit during the day and a suit for formal events at
night. ? |
Nope! Astronauts
usually have more than one work outfit. They may wear
a short sleeve shirt and shorts during one day. The
next day they might wear a long sleeve shirt and trousers
for an interview with journalists on Earth.

2. A launch suit, a work
outfit and space suit. ? |
Incorrect!
These are basic outfits they are required to wear during
specific events. Though all astronauts have to wear
a launch suit and a work outfit, not every astronaut
will wear a space suit. Especially, during a mission
with no planned space walks. |
3.A Spring ensemble, a Summer
swimsuit, a Fall uniform and a Winter coat. |
I don't think
so! There are no seasons in space,
just the extreme temperatures of night and day. Besides,
space shuttle missions only last a few days to a couple
of weeks -- too short for an entire season. On the other
hand, space station astronauts stay in orbit for a few
months. |
4. Depends on the length
of the mission? |
Exactly!
Since there is no washer or dryer in the space shuttle,
astronauts bring a change of underwear for each day
they are in space. They also have a few extra shirts,
shorts and trousers. The dirty clothes are placed in
a bag inside the shuttle's airlock. Space station astronauts
send their dirty clothes back to Earth in the space
shuttle or Russian Progress cargo capsules. The shuttle
and the Progress can also bring them clean clothes.
