Artemis II: A look at where the astronauts will eat, sleep and poo

The astronauts will be lifted off into space on the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

The job of the SLS is to carry the Orion spacecraft – which sits at the top of the rocket with the astronauts onboard – to space.

The astronauts will spend 10 days in the Orion capsule, which is about 5m wide and 3m high.

They’ll exercise for 30 minutes every day with a small exercise machine, use water to rehydrate their food and use a toilet tucked under the floor.
