Virtual Field Trip - International Space Station
From the August 10 edition of the Google for Education newsletter : Earth as seen from the Cupola Observation Module Take a tour inside the International Space Station For 16 years, astronauts have been working and living on the International Space Station (ISS), a structure made up of 15 connected modules that floats 250 miles above Earth. On his last mission, Thomas Pesquet , an astronaut at the European Space Agency (ESA), captured Street View imagery in zero gravity to show what the ISS looks like from the inside, and shares what it’s like to look down on Earth from outer space. Students can journey to the station via Google Expeditions , Maps , and Google Earth Voyager , and even go behind the scenes , floating right alongside the astronauts.
