Answer:
fate of an astronaut corpse is uncharted territory. So far, no individual has died of natural causes in space. There have been eighteen astronaut deaths, but all were caused by a bona fide space disaster. Space shuttle Columbia (seven deaths, broken apart due to structural failure), space shuttle Challenger (seven deaths, disintegrated during launch), Soyuz 11 (three deaths, air vent ripped open during descent, and the only deaths to have technically happened in space), Soyuz 1 (one death, capsule parachute failure during reentry).

Like the vast reaches of space, the fate of an astronaut corpse is uncharted territory. So far, no individual has died of natural causes in space. There have been eighteen astronaut deaths, but all were caused by a bona fide space disaster.

These were all large-scale calamities, with bodies recovered on Earth in various states of intactness. But we don’t know what would happen if an astronaut had a sudden heart attack, or an accident during a space walk, or choked on some of that freeze-dried ice cream on the way to Mars. “Umm, Houston, should we float him over to the maintenance closet or . . . ?”
Before we talk about what would be done with a space corpse, let’s lay out what we suspect might happen if death occurred in a place with no gravity and no atmospheric pressure..........
Hope it wil be helpful...

Answer:
Her or his body doesn't decompose.
Explanation:
Because, only micro organisms can decompose the body .
But there is no single micro organism in space .
==> If any of astronauts died in space ,firstly there bodies get orbited in space.
====> As the dead body orbiting in the orbits around planets .
.
. . At last body will be absorbed by black bodies
