How does food stay fresh on the ISS?
Frank De Winne is answering a question on the ISS submitted by Cedric from Belgium:
– How do you occupy yourself during the 2-day Soyuz journey to the ISS?
– How does food stay fresh in space, since there is no fridge on the ISS?
This is so cool!!! I want t try some space food!
Without air, space is a poor thermal conductor. This means anything at ambient temperature will not get cold any time soon, so it isn't the best way to preserve food, although Skylab had a food freezer.
bye bye from now😂😂
Isn't it freezing cold on the station's dark side? Just keep it there, heat it up on the sunny side. Yankee ingenuity!
The read on the can is "Мясо с вермишелью". So Russian canned meat with vermicelli.
