Astronauts are highly trained individuals who travel into space to conduct research, perform experiments, and carry out missions related to space exploration. They operate spacecraft and may live and work on space stations, such as the International Space Station (ISS). Astronauts undergo rigorous training in various fields, including science, engineering, and physical fitness, to prepare for the challenging conditions of space travel, including microgravity and radiation exposure. Their work contributes to our understanding of space, the effects of long-duration spaceflight on the human body, and advances in technology and science.
