Single-Word Requests – Verb for Actions Performed by Astronauts in Space

single-word-requestsverbs

What is the verb form of "astronaut"?

I mean what is the action that an astronaut performs, by moving in space?

A dictionary gave me the word "astronavigation" which is absolutely wrong. This is a task done on Earth and not in space.
