芙中与美国休斯顿太空与科学教育协会（HASSE）及 NASA 专家合作开设的太空课程于8月10日正式开课。课堂上，师生们通过视频连线与 HASSE 进行对话，深入了解太空人在国际太空站（ISS）的日常生活。

国际太空站（ISS）是一个跨国合作项目，可容纳三到六名工作人员。通常，太空人在国际太空站的停留时间约为六个月，最长可达一年，具体取决于任务需求。在太空站期间，他们除了进行实验和执行维护任务外，每天还需进行至少两小时的运动。此外，他们也会参与公共关系活动，并在私人时间通过视频与地球上的家人联系。

国际太空站是一个科学实验室，致力于推动医学、技术和宇宙探索。在太空站上，来自不同国家的太空人共享资源和经验，以协作精神和和平共处的方式推进太空任务，并为未来探索月球、火星及其他区域奠定基础。

我校此次太空课程，开创了马来西亚的先例，引领对太空有兴趣的师生们共同学习。

The International Space Station(ISS) is a multinational cooperative project, and standing as the largest structure ever constructed in space. Since November 2, year 2000, it has been accommodating crews ranging from three to six individuals, working together to conduct scientific research and maintain the station’s operations.

During their time on the ISS, astronauts conduct experiments, perform maintenance tasks, and engage in a minimum of two hours daily to exercise. In addition to scientific research, they may also participate in public relations events. Crews are responsible for station maintenance both inside and outside, including carring out extravehicular activites for repairs and upkeep.

The ISS serves as a scientific laboratory, enabling groundbreaking research that advances medicine, technology, and our understanding of the universe. Life on board demonstrates international friendship and teamwork as astronauts harmoniously share resources and experiences. The collaborative spirit of ISS will shape future space missions, emphasizing global cooperation, and peaceful coexistence as guiding principles for future endeavors, to explore to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
