Astronaut Peskov: The perception of space in space changes greatly!
On Earth, we perceive the area of a room, while in the space station it is volume.
September 3, TASS reported.
Astronaut Peskov said it was difficult to explain how much change occurred in the spacecraft under weightlessness conditions.
The perception of surrounding space changes greatly under weightlessness conditions.
Astronaut Kirill Peskov revealed this after completing a five-month mission on the International Space Station.
"The change in my perception of the surrounding space was so great, it was unexpected."
"On Earth, we talk about the area of a room, but in a microgravity environment, we have started talking about volume."
"You can not only move on a plane, here the plane is endless.
This gives you a lot of space emotionally, one could say that technically it has not changed,
but your perception of it is different. This surprised us."
Peskov pointed out that this feeling formed a particularly sharp contrast with the initial impression of the spacecraft trainer.
"When I first joined the team, we went to the spacecraft trainer,
and at that time we found these spaces quite narrow - how could people work there for such a long time?"
The astronaut recalled.
Kirill Peskov is the sixth Russian astronaut in history to ride the American Dragon spacecraft.
