Ever wanted a tour of the International Space Station in all its gravity-defying glory? Well now you can, courtesy of an explorable panorama from the European Space Agency.
The interactive tool offers a snapshot into how the ISS looked in June 2015, shortly after it was remodelled to free up a docking port, with the 10-tonne Leonardo storage module moved to the Tranquility node.
All the pictures were taken by ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, who spent 199 days onboard the craft -- taking up to 15 photographs inside each module. You can roam through each part of the Space Station, moving through the hatches, and zoom in on various pieces of equipment, from the onboard exercise bike to the oven.
You can also click on the various "play" icons to watch Cristoforetti herself explain more about an item or give a demonstration, and you can read in-depth web articles too.
Currently, the Russian modules are off limits -- a complete tour of the ISS won't be available until later this year -- but in the meantime, it offers a fascinating glimpse into what everyday life is like on the craft.
