Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky opened the porthole of the multi-purpose laboratory module of the International Space Station "Nauka"on Sunday, August 22. Roscosmos published the video on Tuesday, August 24.
The footage shows what beautiful views open to the Earth from the new Russian ISS module.
Earlier, on August 11, cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev expressed the opinion that the porthole in the new Russian module "Science" will become a favorite place for all members of the ISS crew. He drew attention to the fact that the window glass is made in such a way that it allows you to take photos with a camera with any focus — both large and small.
The head of NASA, Bill Nelson, on August 3, during a conference dedicated to the operation of the ISS, said that the addition of the Russian module "Science" to the station will contribute to the development of cooperation between the Russian Federation and the United States. According to him, "Science" and the European robot manipulator will help to make even more discoveries, valuable both for life on Earth, and for moving into space and to Mars.
The Nauka module docked to the ISS on July 29. Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky on board the ISS informed the specialists of the Moscow Mission Control Center (MCC)about the unplanned engines of the module. Soon the astronauts managed to turn them off.
To eliminate the loss of orientation of the ISS, it was necessary to turn on the engines of the Zvezda module and the Progress MS-17 cargo ship docked to the Poisk module.
