First 8K Video from Space - Ultra HD VP9

About

Science gets scaled up with the first 8K ultra high definition (UHD) video from the International Space Station. Get closer to the in-space experience and see how the international partnership-powered human spaceflight is improving lives on Earth, while enabling humanity to explore the universe.

Featured investigations and facilities:

0:01, 2:36 BEST seeks to advance use of sequencing DNA and RNA in space. https://go.nasa.gov/2tNntKu

0:13 The Minus Eighty-Degree Laboratory Freezer for ISS (MELFI) is a cold storage unit that maintains experiment samples at ultra-cold temperatures throughout a mission. https://go.nasa.gov/2RkJAl5

0:21 The Advanced Plant Habitat (APH), a recent addition to the space station, is the largest growth chamber aboard the orbiting laboratory. https://go.nasa.gov/2JCi8vV

0:33 Canadarm2 is part of Canada's contribution to the space station. This 17-metre-long robotic arm was extensively involved in the assembly of the orbiting laboratory. https://go.nasa.gov/2ReaU42

0:41 Crew Earth Observations record how the planet is changing over time, from human-caused changes like urban growth and reservoir construction, to natural dynamic events such as hurricanes, floods and volcanic eruptions. https://go.nasa.gov/2KLFAaq

0:49 The Light Microscopy Module (LMM) is a modified commercial, highly flexible, state-of-the-art light imaging microscope facility that provides researchers with powerful diagnostic hardware and software onboard the space station. https://go.nasa.gov/2RfdYwS

0:53 ACE-T-2 looks at the assembly of complex structures from micron-scale colloidal particles interacting via tunable attractive interactions. https://go.nasa.gov/2Re2ppS

0:57 Plant Habitat-1 comprehensively compares differences in genetics, metabolism, photosynthesis, and gravity sensing between plants grown in space and on Earth. https://go.nasa.gov/2MdDBfc

1:05 The Cupola provides an observation and work area for the International Space Station crew that gives visibility to support the control of the station’s robotic arms, and a beautiful view of the Earth, celestial objects and visiting vehicles. https://go.nasa.gov/2CRsxCT
