In a new episode of RT’s ground-breaking 360° video documentary
from the International Space Station, cosmonaut Andrey Borisenko
demonstrates the first-ever panoramic view of Earth from the Cupola
module which is attached on the Earth-facing side of the ISS.
The Cupola module was completed in 2010. From here the crew can
best operate the robotic arm that is visible directly from it, together
with the Russian segment of the station [often with a Soyuz craft
attached] and the US and Japanese labs.
The view from the Cupola leaves the astronauts totally spellbound, as Borisenko said that once he is in the Cupola, he keeps staring back at Earth, marveling at the view.

He recently arrived at the station for his second six-month shift.
“Though actually, there isn’t really that much free time here,” the
astronaut added.
In the video, the astronaut shows the audience the inside of Cupola and the windows which show the magnificent view of Earth to the astronauts.
