Astronauts have a choice of four watches that are certified to fly in space, says Stephanie Walker. Stephanie Walker is a subsystem manager for flight crew equipment at Johnson Space Center. These watches can be purchased at retail stores. "The certification process assures that they can perform and not self-destruct in the vacuum of space. With pressure variances and temperature extremes, watch components may expand, rupture, or crack, causing a potential hazard to the crew." Many materials are safe on Earth, but in space they may emit gases. These gases can contaminate the space atmosphere. This would cause a strain on the air recycling and purification systems.

"The old standby watch is the Omega® Speed Master watch," says Walker. Omega was made famous by Apollo astronauts as they conducted space walks.

The new watch for astronauts is the Timex® Ironman. This cutting-edge timepiece sells for less than $100. It has a light-emitting diode (LED) port to synchronize up to 10 alarms to the calendar of a personal computer, stores 38 telephone numbers, identifies messages, displays the time in two different time zones, and comes close to serving as a wrist computer, Walker says.

Påskeharen leverte i år

Ett stykk perfekt datter:) Speedyn hjalp far med å time riene. Veldig passende med racing rem på da hun valgte å komme fort.

@Moviken : Uten å prøve meg som en "buzzkiller"...
Jeg syns at artikkelen er litt utydelig i påstandene...?
Din Timex, en G-shock og den X33 er godkjent til opphold i raketter, romstasjonene etc...
Men ikke i EVA(Extra Vehicular Activity), altså "space walk": For det blir det bare den Speedmaster-Pro som er godkjent.
