Step inside Unity, the module that helped build the International Space Station
In short: This 360-degree view offers a rare look inside Unity, the second module of the International Space Station. Discover the cylindrical hub that serves as a vital connection point for visiting spacecraft and other station modules.
Following its 4 December 1998 deployment via Space Shuttle Endeavour, Unity—or Node-1—connected with the Russian Zarya module forty-eight hours later. This connection established the fundamental basis of the International Space Station. As a central cylindrical hub, Unity features six docking ports designed to link various modules and visiting spacecraft together.
