🇬🇧 What is the reason for quarantine before a space flight? 😷🚀 The reason for such quarantine is quite similar to the quarantine we all went through during the COVID-19 pandemic. It's aimed at ensuring that astronauts don't get sick at the last moment and bring their bacteria or viruses to the space station, potentially infecting the crew that is already there, or their fellow astronauts 🧑‍🚀 Quarantine typically lasts for two weeks, after which it's assumed that the incubation period for most diseases has passed 🧫 👉🏻 An interesting fact: during quarantine, only a partner can join the astronaut, but their children cannot. This is due to minimizing the risk of transmitting diseases. So, that's how it works. #AX3 #Muninn #astronaut #space #kosmos #astro_slawosz #astronauta europeanspaceagency polsa.gov.pl
