What happens to your body if you die in space? That's actually a complicated question and the answer depends on a variety of factors.

From burning up into the atmosphere to floating frozen indefinitely, there are a lot of possibilities for deceased bodies in space.

Space missions are always inherently risky, astronauts go on a trip with the knowledge they may not return.

The protocol of what to do if an astronaut perishes on a mission is unclear, but NASA has some tentative plans in place for a variety of scenarios.

If you expired in space while wearing a space suit, your body would actually decompose quicker than if it was exposed.

The suit would protect you from elements of space that could freeze, dry out, or incinerate your dead body. This would only occur if you were close to a heat source, however, as bacteria in the spacesuit and within your body would start breaking down your body soon after death.

With no heat, your body could freeze quickly and leave your dead body preserved indefinitely inside the suit.

You do not actually explode if you're sent spiraling out into space. After about 10 seconds of exposure, skin and tissue begin to swell. This is caused by the water in your body vaporizing. However, your skin is actually resilient enough to hold your body together.

While your body may become quite puffy and inflated, it will remain in one piece.

Being projected into space isn't necessarily a final sentence. If you were released into space without protection, you could likely survive the ordeal if you were pulled back into a spacecraft within two minutes. You would have some skin damage due to the extreme temperatures, possibly experiencing some pretty harsh burns.

However, there's a good chance of survival.
