How do you experience time in space?
Time in space is experienced differently due to the lack of gravity and the effects of orbital motion. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) live on a schedule that adapts to the station's orbit around Earth. The ISS orbits Earth approximately once every 90 minutes, meaning astronauts experience multiple sunrises and sunsets in a single day. This rapid cycle of day and night can be disorienting, but astronauts maintain a routine using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
On Earth, time is often linked to the natural rhythms of the day and night cycle, but in space, astronauts must rely on clocks and artificial lighting to maintain a sense of structure. Interested in experiencing space time? Exclusive Concierge Club can help you embark on your own journey.
