Google Maps was the first to enter the world of free maps, and as usual it has managed to maintain its dominant position in the market. Google regularly updates the information it offers through this map service, hence it remains the only option that any user has in mind when they want to search for a street, a monument, a travel route or even visit the International Space Station.
Google has just fulfilled the dream of many users, users who have always wanted to know what the International Space Station should be like. This time Google hasn't sent anyone to this space station, but the person in charge of capturing all the photographic material necessary to make this a reality has been in charge of the astronaut Thomas Pesquet.
Thomas Pesquet is an International Space Station astronaut who throughout the last six months the entire interior has been devoted to photographs in addition to being in charge of taking a large number of photographs of how the land up there is observed. Later, when he finished his mission, he handed over all the material to Google to be in charge of joining all the photographs and including them in its map service.
In the absence of gravity, NASA and Google's engineering team had to work on a system that would allow all the necessary photographs to be taken to allow users to enjoy the ISS in 360 degrees without the photos being blurred by motion. In the video above you can see how it has been the arduous task of carrying out this process. If you want to take a look at As is the International Space Station, you just have to go through the following link and enjoy the excellent work that Thomas Pesquet has done on his latest trip to space.
