Observance of Muslim or Jewish holidays often depends on the sunset, but that can be hard for astronauts on board the International Space Station.

At the time, he told CNN that, although he is Jewish, he didn’t plan to observe Yom Kippur, which began at sundown the day of his launch in 2021. [said](https://makkah.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/a_guideline_ibadah_at_iss.pdf) his fasting could be postponed until he returned to Earth or he could fast in accordance with the time zone of the place from which he had launched. Heber does note, however, that it is theoretically possible to stretch what should be a one-day holiday into three days, depending on exactly where the spacecraft’s orbit lies. He’s one of fewer than a dozen Muslim astronauts who have traveled to space, and at the end of his mission in about five months, he will have been the first astronaut from the United Arab Emirates to complete a long-duration stay on the floating laboratory. And according to that, you either win or lose and I was just trying to see how you might reinterpret the rules for spaceflight since there’s no up or down,” he explained to the camera. He was also relieved of the obligation to attempt to kneel while praying — a difficult feat in zero gravity. A rabbi from the 18th century, Jacob Emden, was naturally not familiar with space travel. But Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon did attempt it in 2003, when he flew aboard a Space Shuttle Columbia mission and, in keeping with advice from “leading rabbinical experts,” he observed Shabbat in accordance with Cape Canaveral, Florida, time, the place from which he had launched. There will also be two Muslim festivals — Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha, a celebration of the annual pilgrimage that Muslims make to Mecca, the holy land in Saudi Arabia, that begins June 28. Ramon and his six crewmates died when the Columbia orbiter broke apart during their return to Earth on February 1, 2003. But what if the sun’s clockwork were to suddenly change, as it does for astronauts riding aboard the International Space Station? For centuries, a setting sun has signaled the end of fasting rituals on holidays such as Ramadan and Yom Kippur, a cue to tuck into a delicious meal after a full day of abstaining from food and drink.
