Books in the Fantasy Field Trips series take the reader on field trips to the most unlikely of destinations! In this book, strap yourself in as we prepare to blast off to explore a space station far above the Earth's surface. Our 'tour' includes a look at daily life on board, how astronauts exercise, work and even go to the toilet, and how astronauts and their supplies are transported between Earth and the space station.
"I really enjoyed A Visit to a Space Station, by Claire Throp. It addresses the reader as a future ISS astronaut, telling you what you need to do to train, how you will ride a Soyuz to the Station, and how you live and sleep up there. . . .the point of the book is to get kids to imagine themselves living in space as astronauts do, and for that it's quite effective."
