Thanks to an orbiting astronaut, we now know the answer, and it is even stranger than you might expect
.Astronauts say the unique smell aboard the International Space Station is reminiscent of two things - meat and metal.
It has been described as like 'seared steak', 'hot metal' and welding fumes'.
Astronaut's have largely agreed on the scent.
Three-time spacewalker Thomas Jones said returning to the ISS, 'carries a distinct odor of ozone, a faint acrid smell.' and is 'sulfurous'.
