In this 70 minutes tour we take a visit through the entire ISS,
We start in the back of the ISS and work our way to the front.
We get a nice view how they live, where they eat and sleep.
No space is wasted and supplies are everywhere.
You also see the place André used for his hamradiostation PI9ISS.
André Kuipers was member of Expedition 31 and returned from the ISS on sunday july 1st 2012 at 10:14 CEST back to Earth after 191 days in space.
