Anyone can visit the "guests" of the astronauts and see how they live on the ISS, work and spend their leisure time in zero gravity. Astronaut of the European Space Agency Thomas Pesce, who spent six months in orbit as a flight engineer and returned to Earth in May, told a lot of interesting things about life at the station, provided photographs. He took pictures specifically for Google Street View.

Google has digitized the International Space Station with NASA. A virtual excursion into space will help us get acquainted with the Russian segment of the ISS, see all the most interesting - from technical equipment to household items.
All images are accompanied by descriptions (previously this feature was only available when browsing museums on Google Arts & Culture), so the tour will be simple and convenient.
