The ISS (International Space Station) crew uploaded the first 360-degree spacewalk to YouTube.
It all started last July, when astronauts uploaded several videos mapping the entire interior of the ISS , which you can see on Google Streetview. Today, the crew uploaded the first 360-degree spacewalk.
The video was made by the Russian space agency Roscosmos in cooperation with the Russian news agency RT. It shows cosmonauts Sergei Reiszhansky and Fyodor Yurtchikhin performing maintenance work on the station and sending three nano-satellites into space during a 7.5-hour spacewalk in August. The three nano-satellites are literally being launched by hand!! Two of them, called Tanyusha, were created by students in Kursk. And the third, Tomsk-TPU 120 from the city of Tomsk, and they transmit multilingual messages that if you are an amateur radio enthusiast you can hear on the frequencies 437.025 MHz and 437.05 MHz.
The video captures the cosmonauts launching the three tiny satellites into orbit, allowing them to orbit the Earth.
