Columbus offers European scientists full access to a weightless environment that cannot be duplicated on Earth. External platforms support experiments and applications in space science, Earth observation, and technology. The state-of-the-art facility offers 75 cubic meters of workspace and contains a suite of research equipment. The laboratory is ESA’s largest single contribution to the ISS and Europe’s first permanent research facility in space. It was launched on 7 February 2008 on Space Shuttle Atlantis. This 360° panorama lets you explore the International Space Station’s sixth module, Columbus.

According to NASA, it has the highest quality optics ever flown on a human-occupied spacecraft. The Nadir window of the Destiny module supports the crew taking Earth observations/images. Destiny is NASA’s first permanent operating orbital research station since Skylab was vacated in February 1974. It was berthed to the Unity module and activated over a period of five days in February 2001. NASA offers two live-streamed camera feeds from the station. First launched in 1998, the station has been continually occupied by humans since 2000 and sees continual updates. The Space Station serves as a floating laboratory in Low-Earth orbit. The Destiny module, also known as the US Lab, is the primary operating facility for U.S. The International Space Station is a collaborative project between NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, and CSA. The images to create this view were taken by ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti during her Futura mission in 2015 the cosmonaut in the picture is Gennady Padalka. All five of Europe’s Automated Transfer Vehicles docked with the module.
Launched on 12 July 2000, the Russian module supplies life support for the Station and crew quarters. This 360° panorama allows you to explore the International Space Station’s third module, Zvezda.
