Inside Destiny: The Scientific Heart of the International Space Station
In short: Experience a 360-degree view of one of the most critical laboratories in orbit. This panorama offers a rare look inside the module where groundbreaking research in biology and physics takes place every day.
Captured by ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, this immersive view explores Destiny, the fourth module of the International Space Station (ISS). Launched on February 7, 2001, aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis, it serves as the primary hub for non-Russian research operations.
The module is designed for high-level scientific diversity. It houses specialized equipment such as a rack for studying liquid combustion in weightlessness and the European Microgravity Science Glovebox, enabling experiments across multiple disciplines including physics and biology.
