Sixteen nations were involved in the construction of the ISS: The United States, Russia, Canada, Japan, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.




Now, fans of the International Space Station can take a dizzying virtual tour of all 15 of its modules using Google Street View to experience it for themselves.

this is a really nice topic... weldone bro

The US Laboratory Module, called Destiny, (pictured) is the primary research laboratory for US payloads, supporting a wide range of experiments and studies contributing to health, safety, and quality of life for people all over the world

This area of the ISS contains space suits also known as Extravehicular Mobility Units.

They provide crew members with life support that enables extravehicular activity.

The Cupola (named after the raised observation deck on a railroad caboose)is a small module designed for the observation of operations outside the ISS such as robotic activities, the approach of vehicles, and extravehicular activity (EVA)

Most images on the ISS are taken in the cupola, where there are often as up to eight cameras set up with different lenses.

At times, astronauts compete with each other for the best position.

This image of the interior view from the International Space Station's Cupola module was taken on January 4.

The large bay windows allowsthe Expedition 42 crew to see outside.

The Cupola houses one of the space station's two robotic work stations used by astronauts to manipulate the large robotic arm seen through the right window.

The Italian-built Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) is attached to the Earth-facing side of the Unity node.

The PMM is a large, reusable pressurized element that was originally used to ferry cargo back and forth to the station.

Pictured is a close-up view of the SpaceX Dragon Docking Vehicle.

Dragon is a free-flying spacecraft designed to deliver both cargo and people to orbiting destinations.

Pictured is the Galley Table, which is big enough for six astronauts to eat together.

It was designed by high school students working with Nasa scientists.

Experiments here focus on space medicine, biology, Earth observations, material production, biotechnology and communications research.

Everything just look one kind for my eye


Maybe science inclined minds would appreciate this post more

It's Explorers again

Seun and Lalasticlala...come n see something

The astronauts on board use a variety of laptops to complete their experiments.

To the right in this image, one of the detachable blue handrailsused by the astronauts to remain stationary while suspended in microgravity can also be seen.

wow

Pooing, urinating is problematic.



Think about the agony floating feces, urine could inflict inside a cramped space capsule.

Vacuums are use to suck out poo.

When NASA started planning longer missions, they had to take astronauts' bowels into consideration.



To minimize their bowel movements, astronauts had a high-protein, low-residue diet think steak and eggs and other foods that are don't make a lot of waste after they are absorbed by the body.


Urinating wasn't much easier for the Apollocrews.

Their urine collection device was basically a condom-like pouch attached to a hose that vented out into the vacuum of space at the turn of a valve.

Explorers yhur the best

Now I'm pleasantly surprised!!!

Can a Nigerian Ph.d holder in engineering even design something for a daycare/nursery

We need to invest more in the practical aspects of tech/science

I am waiting for the day explorers will disappoint me which I believe is impossible..

Thanks for this revelation

Yet some idiots will now come and say the Earth is flat... asteroid fall on una..

You can view the ISS at night, there is a site that lets you know the current location of the ISS at any time and place you're.

the situation just weak person

Nice one explorers

Barbing with vacuum

interesting

Absolute nonsense and waste of money. Our Benin and Indian brothers have been entering and leaving space anyhow without anything. only wings.

Where the flat earthers at. People that believe russia India USA China Germany Britain Iran and all countries that have space programs have no better work to do than decieve them. If earth were flat don't you think Russia or Iran would have loved to pour sand in America's garri and expose them. Okay to flat earth folks explain how an ICBM works if the earth is flat

Woww.. This is Hiudge.

cool

It's really a small world.

I still wonder how someone will still hold on to a "flat earth" idea and still can't explain why is the sun rays not hitting all part of the world immediately (like a flat surface object)
