The perception of the surrounding space changes dramatically in zero gravity. This was reported by Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov.
If on Earth we operate with the concept of the area of some room, then in zero gravity we already operate with the concept of volume.
He returned to Earth after a five-month flight on the International Space Station (ISS) and spoke about how much the relatively cramped Crew Dragon spacecraft changes when you are in zero gravity.
You can move not only in one plane, but there are an infinite number of these planes here. And this emotionally adds a lot of space, so to speak - it doesn't technically change, of course, but you perceive it differently. And that was a surprise.
This feeling contrasts with the first impressions of the simulators on which astronauts prepare for flights.
When I first joined the team, we came to the ship simulators, to the training stations, and then it turned out that it was quite cramped in these volumes - how do people work there for so long.
Kirill Peskov is the sixth Russian in the history of the ISS as part of the crew of the American Crew Dragon ship. The cosmonaut returned to Earth on August 9, 2025.
Earlierwww1.ru reported that Soyuz-5 is beingprepared for delivery to Baiterek.
