The European Space Agency has recently uploaded on its YouTube channel, a video of the International Space Station (ISS). The best part about the video? It is also avilable in 3D. A narrative about the modules of ISS, the video is available in English, Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish and French languages.
For all you space fans dreaming about orbiting the earth in a floating artificial satellite, this is a chance to take a look at the ISS, which was launched into orbit in 1998. The 3D tour starts from the outside of the Station, and moves on to show its various research labs, workstations and other platforms.
Europe's Columbus laboratory, Harmony - a connecting module where a visiting spacecraft can dock, Kibo - Japan's laboratory, the Canadian Robotic Arm are shown from outside.
Research lab Destiny - the primary operating facility for U.S. research payloads, is shown with Leonardo - a multi purpose module and Cupola - a dome from which astronauts guide operations outside the station and take pictures of Earth. The video explains how weightlessness affects orientation. If you're either an aspiring astronaut or a casual observer, this video serves to shed some light on the International Space Station and its habitat
