Given his peculiar situation , A consensus was reached by the ulama that , it is sufficient to face the earth alone.

Also given that the sun rises and sets approximately every hour while in orbit, his point of take off was used as reference for the timing of his 5 daily prayers .

his direction will be toward earth, makka.

Futhermore east, west, north, south belong to Allah, so he could face anywhere and pray

Water is very precious in space.

Astronauts don't take showers, they usually make use of antiseptic wipes similar to baby wipes to clean up

but in his case tayammum (Dry ablution) was the solution.
