More views from within the recreated Cupola of the International Space Station.
One of the ongoing research projects aboard the ISS is the effect of radiation from the sun on the bodies of astronauts.
Another is to engage with the public- whether it's video calls with schools and community groups or posting on social media. Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield became particularly skilled at the latter during his time on the ISS.
A long row of photographs of Canadian astronauts. Our first, Marc Garneau, died recently. He can be seen at top left. At bottom right, our first female astronaut, Roberta Bondar.
The second floor features more about technology in space.
It is a demanding task, spending half a year or more in space. Keeping up the morale of a mission crew presents its own challenges.
Love those views.

I have always wondered how they keep up their spirits. It's a long time to be confined.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to imagine being up there so long, William.
ReplyDeleteI am content to keep my feet on the Earth, and look at pictures of the Earth from orbit.
