"All of a sudden you see a place you know really well, but you see it from a completely different perspective." -ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst 🌍 From the International Space Station’s unique vantage point, we can observe Earth like never before. Benefit 2: The station has become a fundamental post for data collection and capturing imagery of the planet’s changing landscape. With multiple instruments on the space station’s exterior and human observation in the cupola, we can potentially develop solutions to future environmental stressors which may affect our home planet. The data collected on station helps everyone from climate scientists to farmers to disaster responders.
