Google takes you inside the International Space Station Follow FizzicsEd Articles: Comments 0 Inside the ISS Cupola February 2017. See the Soyuz spacecraft? Image via Google Maps & NASA Ever wondered just what it would be like to tour the International Space Station? Well, with Google Maps you can! Google has teamed up with NASA to create a tour of all the sections of the ISS! Using your mouse or fingers you can look around each module to your heart’s content, zooming on interesting technology and reading about the history, origin and the use of each node. Tips for touring the ISS Touring the ISS in Google Maps is quite easy, just look out for the Navigation points and click on them. Keep an eye on your compass so you know where you are. Don’t forget to look below you ‘feet’ and above your ‘head’. Double click on items of interest to find out more. As you move your cursor around the screen, keep an eye out for grey arrows that highlight the direction you can travel (you may have to zoom in on some areas for them to activate).
