Passing a Tool in Orbit

Astronauts from different places live and work together inside one orbiting laboratory. They share tools, check screens, and help each other while Earth turns outside the window.

In the picture

  1. A silver wrench between two gloved hands: one crew member passes it to another.
  2. A round window with Earth and stars: the crew sees home while living in orbit.
  3. A circular docking ring at the module end: two spacecraft modules join into one shared space.

Examples

  • Two classmates trading markers during a group poster so both can finish it.
  • A family cooking together: one person chops, another stirs, and they share the same kitchen.
