Stunning photos of the interior of the ISS space station

The four-member crewed space flight of the Axiom Mission 3 lifted off from Kennedy Space Center on January 17, carrying a number of samples to serve more than 30 important studies at the International Space Station (ISS) Laboratory.

According to the plan, Axiom Space's chief astronaut and former NASA astronaut Michael López-Alegría (commander), Italy's Walter Villadei (pilot), Türkiye's Alper Gezeravcı (mission specialist) and European Space Agency (ESA) project astronaut Marcus Wandt of Sweden (mission specialist) will carry out more than 30 experiments in the space environment.

Recently, European Space Agency (ESA) mission specialist Marcus Wandt shared a photo of himself floating in the zero-gravity environment of the Destiny module. Destiny is the main research laboratory of the International Space Station (ISS), and as such, it is home to many experiments and in-depth research in the zero-gravity environment.

In the photo, which Wandt shared on social network X (formerly Twitter), the walls of the Destiny module are lined with various pieces of equipment and wires strung up to keep all the tools tied down. Marcus Wandt's legs and feet can also be seen floating in the photo, as astronauts experience weightlessness inside the space station.

The Destiny module has 24 equipment racks, supporting a variety of research related to human health, safety and quality of life in space, providing astronaut researchers with a rare opportunity to conduct in-depth health experiments in zero gravity conditions, thereby allowing them to better understand the nature of human health and the world we live in.

“An astronaut's perspective: How does this photo make you feel: Relaxed, stressed, wanting to play, or wanting to rearrange things?” Wandt wrote in the X post.

While some people who viewed Wandt's photos said the inside of the module looked a bit messy without gravity to keep all the equipment in place, others said they found the idea of floating weightlessly in space relaxing.
