A "window to the world!" ?
Viewed from a window inside the International Space Station's (@国際宇宙ステーション) cupola, we see the Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle-7 cargo craft at the orbital complex on Oct. 11, with a view of Earth from 257 miles above providing the dramatic backdrop.
The cupola is a panoramic control tower for the station with a dome-shaped module containing windows through which operations on the outside of the orbiting outpost can be observed and guided. From here, astronauts control the station’s robotic arm, which helps with the attachment and assembly of station elements much like the operator of a building crane perched in a control cabin. Additionally, spacewalks can be observed from the cupola along with visiting spacecraft and external areas of the station with the cupola offering a viewing spectrum of 360 degrees.
