Do astronauts change their clocks when they move over different time zones in space?
Adrian46
No, they move over all time zones in about 90 minutes, so they would have to reset their watches about every 8 minutes. This would make it impractical for ground support people to keep track of what time they were on. On the Space Station, Coordinated Universal Time (usually called Greenwich Mean Time, GMT, or, in the military, Zulu Time) is used to regulate the onboard day.
Shuttle flights use Mission Elapsed Time (MET), a flexible timezone based solely on the launch time of the mission.
The time that astronauts use is Houston, Texas time so that Mission Control can have an acurate clock with the space station.
