Have you always wanted to take a look inside the International Space Station? You can now in Google Street View. The service lets you look around in the fifteen modules of the space station.

Escape the gravity, and find out where the astronauts eat and go to the toilet.
During the 360-degree tour, you'll be a real astronaut. Google Street View not only offers an unseen look at the ISS, but also amazing views on the earth. The astronauts in the space station helped capture all the panoramas.
Different objects in the Street View view of the ISS are clickable. This will provide you with descriptions of all kinds of ISS components, such as the oxygen system, the Waste and Hygiene Compartment, the toilet, and the space packages.
Cupola
The most spectacular is the view from the Cupola, the module with six large windows that overlook the earth. In addition, the Soyuz vessel can be seen too. The pictures were taken when a Dragon-capsule from Space X, supplied the ISS.
Google has expanded its Street View service in recent years with places on Earth such as the Great Barrier Reef and the bottom of oceans, but it's the first time 360-degree images are taken out of space. The tour was launched on the occasion of the 48th anniversary of the moon landing. Check it out here:
