English<\/b> Astronaut vlog: space food and fitness<\/p>\n

ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer is preparing for his mission to the International Space Station, scheduled for launch in late 2021. This mission is known as Cosmic Kiss.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In this video log from his current training base at NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, USA, Matthias shows a space food tasting session and shares how astronauts maintain their fitness for a safe return to Earth.<\/p>\n

Astronauts exercise for two hours a day, six days a week while on the International Space Station to combat muscle and bone loss caused by an extended stay in microgravity. Diet also plays an important role in maintaining physical and mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Due to the current situation with COVID-19, all personnel are required to adhere to special safety precautions while training. These include wearing a mask \u2013 as seen in the clip.<\/p>\n

Matthias will continue his training for Cosmic Kiss at partner agencies around the world over the next weeks and months. Stay tuned for further footage of his training and experiences.<\/p>\n

German<\/b> Astronauten-Vlog\/ Matthias Maurer: Weltraumnahrung und Fitness<\/p>\n

ESA-Astronaut Matthias Maurer bereitet sich auf seine Mission zur Internationalen Raumstation vor, die Ende 2021 starten soll. Diese Mission tr\u00e4gt den Namen “Cosmic Kiss”.<\/p>\n

In diesem Video-Log von seiner aktuellen Trainingsbasis im Johnson Space Center der NASA in Houston, Texas, USA, zeigt Matthias eine Verkostung von Weltraumnahrung und erz\u00e4hlt, wie Astronauten ihre Fitness f\u00fcr eine sichere R\u00fcckkehr zur Erde aufrechterhalten.<\/p>\n

Astronauten trainieren w\u00e4hrend ihres Aufenthalts auf der Internationalen Raumstation an sechs Tagen in der Woche t\u00e4glich zwei Stunden, um dem Muskel- und Knochenschwund entgegenzuwirken, der durch den langen Aufenthalt in der Schwerelosigkeit verursacht wird. Auch die Ern\u00e4hrung spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Erhaltung des k\u00f6rperlichen und geistigen Wohlbefindens.<\/p>\n

Aufgrund der aktuellen Situation mit COVID-19 m\u00fcssen alle Mitarbeiter beim Training besondere Sicherheitsvorkehrungen beachten. Dazu geh\u00f6rt auch das Tragen einer Maske – wie im Video zu sehen.<\/p>\n

Matthias wird in den n\u00e4chsten Wochen und Monaten sein Training f\u00fcr seine Cosmic Kiss-Mission bei Partneragenturen auf der ganzen Welt fortsetzen. Bleibt dran – Wir werden mit weiterem Filmmaterial \u00fcber sein Training und seine Erfahrungen berichten.<\/p>\n
