Italy to Indian Ocean

Looking out from the International Space Station’s Cupola observatory while circling Earth at speeds of 28 800 km/h, the 5500 km flight took Samantha around 12 minutes. Images from a Space Station camera were joined together to create this video and make the flight seem even faster.

The astronauts on the Space Station spend as much time as possible on science. During her 40-hour working week Samantha runs many experiments from Italy’s ASI space agency and ESA, and takes part in even more from scientists all over the world.
