  • ESA astronaut Andre Kuipers invites you to follow a guided tour of the complete International Space Station. Andre himself is the tour guide during this unique visit to the Station.
    In the space of one hour Andre shows every module of the International Space Station and explains the ins and outs of living in the largest laboratory in space. This video gives a wonderful glimpse of how life is for an astronaut living in the Station. From science and maintenance to operating robotic arms and finding lost equipment, Andre takes you from the Japanese research module via the Station's cellar and 'garden' to the Russian segment, ending his tour with breath-taking views of Earth from the European-built Cupola observation module.
    This video was recorded during the end of ESA's PromISSe mission. Andre spent a total of 193 days in space before returning to Earth on 1 July 2012.

      Dutchess. I totally agree. I am nearly a decade late to seeing this, and a year after your comment but better late than never.
      Andre made this truly enjoyable viewing.
      A lovely "host" and could easily see him being chosen for compatibility reasons as much as his high level of intelligence and aeronautical and engineering skills.

      @jozefvandeven8643 Před 6 lety +3

      As mr Kuipers told me last Friday during one of his lectures I recently attended, everyting in orbit is called spaceflight. Going 'above' the atmosphere (100km) without orbit is technically not spaceflight, but aerospace. So in this case I would also refer to space. Not deep space, but space none the less.

    I love the look of that place, especially the robot control area with all the monitors, and the hardcore industrial feel that Russian technology always has. The fake "plants" dangling from the light in the PMM and the Eastern-style icon of Mary in the Russian part were also lovely little touches. And of course, the cupola that looks like something from the Millennium Falcon!

    @arleitiss Typically, automated transfer vehicle such as Progress, ATV, HTV and (soon to be) Cygnus stay docked for a couple of months. After that, they are jettisoned and burn in the atmosphere. In addition, there are two Soyuz spacecrafts which are permanently docked and used only in case of emergency evacuation. Whenever the crew is to change, another Soyuz docks. That same one is usually used to send the astronauts back down.

      +John Pinkerton Because its 45 minutes daylight and 45 minutes nightime in the ISS. So for 45 minutes of this tour it was black outside the window (nothing to see). However you will notice near the end that we see outside through the windows (see the Russia Service Module part and of course the Cupola). That's also why he saved the Cupola for last (if you listen carefully at some point in the video he mentions this).

When it is night and there are no clouds I see stars, lots of them, when you go up a high mountain to the observatories there's even more, yet when you leave the atmosphere altogether it's just black? A bit naive don't you think? I noticed a lot of things and listened carefully - did you see that there are at least 10 noticeable cuts? (at - 1:22, 8:04, 27:11, 30:56, 32:36, 34:00, 36:14, 39:22, 46:37, 55:00). Did you think this video was done in one take too? Do you think? Try it.

    @MrChrisRab Před 11 lety

    @Andrea Marcovati, yes and no. Experiments done in space may require microgravity. If that is the case, then these experiments could be placed on the axis of the toroidal station, where there wouldn't be any acceleration. For medium distance travel, such a station would be excellent: it could be possible to easily simulate small ecological environment to easily grow crops for example.
