Read the text and mark the statements as true, false or not stated. The International Space Station, also known as the ISS, is a very large satellite where people can live for several months. It is an international project among 14 countries. They are Russia, the United States, Canada, Japan, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, France, Switzerland and Sweden. Other states such as Brazil and China also work in cooperation with the ISS. The ISS was launched in 1998 when Russian and American space modules were joined together.

The astronauts carry out a lot of scientific experiments. There is no gravity in orbit. This is called zero gravity. The astronauts just float in the air. In zero gravity, the astronauts do not use their muscles very much. Without gravity, one can get a big upper body and thin legs. So astronauts exercise a lot to keep their muscles strong and stay healthy. Eating and drinking is not an easy task in space. The astronauts eat and drink from tubes as otherwise the liquids and food would float around and might ruin the equipment.
