Yes there are... But if you are international you might want to bring a connector to change the amount of power. I dont remember what the difference is but international sockets are differnt from ours.

What kind of sockets do you have then ?

There are electrical outlets in the Habitat rooms as well as the toilet. (I believe...)

I would like to make you aware that electricity in North America (including United States) is different than electricity in Belgium.

Electricity in Belgium is 230V, 50 Hz, with a Type E plug.
Electricity in North America is 120V, 60 Hz, with Type A and B plugs.

Thus, you will need an electrical adapter to convert the voltage as well as the plug shape. Be sure whatever device you will be using does not exceed the limits of your converter.

You can learn more about electricity around the world at this website:

I also read somewhere that International Space Camp trainees are housed off-site at the University of Alabama - Huntsville campus. I am certain those rooms have outlets as well. They would have the same characteristics as the ones in the Habitat.
