Grand tour of the International Space Station with Drew and Luca | Single take

Published 2020-01-26
ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano and NASA astronaut Drew Morgan take you on a unique tour of the International Space Station shot in one take with two cameras strapped together. Luca and Drew take it in turns to guide you through the modules and spacecraft docked to the orbital outpost.

Starting from the Soyuz MS-15 spacecraft that bought Drew to the Space Station, the duo show each module and spacecraft docked with the International Space Station at the time it was recorded around the New Year 2020. Passing colleagues include NASA astronaut Jessica Meir and Christina Koch exercising and Russian cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Skripochka.

This is the first tour of the International Space Station with two astronauts presenting and the first done in a single take.

At the time of recording three supply vehicles were docked, the Russian Progress MS-13, Space-X’s Dragon-19 and Northrup Grumman’s Cygnus-12, as well as two astronaut vehicles the Soyuz MS-15 and Soyuz MS-13.

The map overlay graphic erroneously shows the future Nauka module instead of Pirs. The Russian Multipurpose Laboratory Module Nauka is planned for launch in the future and will replace Pirs, but we put it on the map already.

    I never get tired of ISS tours. The more you know it the more you love it.

    "No matter how many times you see you look outside the view is never the same it's always different the light may be different the time of the year may be different the clouds are always different and, with a little bit of luck, we will be different too." Luca Parmitano, @1:02:37

    "Christina sleeps on the ceiling." A sentence you only hear in space.
  • @AluminumOxide
    Note the “stars” on the camera screen are actually dead pixels caused by space radiation

    Whenever I feel down I watch all this brave people, how much smart, humbly, caring, teamworking are they. Gives me so much positive vibes to see people not caring of religion, skin color, wealth of pocket. They live like one. Its amazing!
  • @spektr4625
    A full tour of the iss... Luca is not the hero we deserve, but the hero we needed.
  • @kegsmelv117
    The comradeship between the crew is as humbling as space exploration itself.
  • i love how they were a little awkward at times but you could still clearly see how much they enjoyed making this tour. honestly all you guys up there are the most precious human beings we have and i really really hope that one day im lucky enough to join you. <3
  • 1:01:42. “We are the most fragile and the most dangerous at the same time”. That is so right! We should appreciate that more often.
  • @darkstarnh
    With all the ways that we humans can mess things up we can also do this. Humanity at it's best. Hope for the future.
  • @tinldw
    Although I've seen much better ISS speedruns, and somewhat better "slow" tours, it is a very nice update! The more ISS tours the better. Haven't seen any for awhile. Thanks to ESA, Luca Parmitano and Drew Morgan. P.S. looks like MIM-1 is still the noisiest place on the station.
  • @justjustin7060
    Thank you so much for the iss in the left bottom part of the screen! It makes it a lot easier to understand everything
  • @TClaudio70
    I hope for a space budget increase all over the world, for every space agency. Knowledge of space is improving humans as a specie.
  • @steph2137
    I just love how they’re all so passionate about what they do and they always have such a big smile on there face when talking about everything to do with the ISS and their jobs in general. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to show us the ISS. I find what you do so fascinating.
