    What time zone do they use on the International Space Station?

    Question #115803. Asked by NCW75. (Jul 07 10 8:02 AM)

    		The time zone used on board the ISS is Coordinated Universal Time.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Space_Station

    Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is a time standard based on International Atomic Time (TAI) with leap seconds added at irregular intervals to compensate for the Earth's slowing rotation. Leap seconds are used to allow UTC to closely track UT1, which is mean solar time at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.

    On Friday the 17th of July, the International Space Station population hit a record number. With the docking of Endeavour at 1:47 pm EDT, how many people were on board the station?

    If somebody went on a space-walk upon working on the space station, a very loose example, and then became detached from the station, i.e. floating freely in space, would it be possible for the person to move themselves closer to the Earth or actually re-enter the Earth's atmosphere by some sort of swimming motion, for want of a better expression?

    Who are the current inhabitants of the International Space Station?
