Thomas tours the MLM module (in French with English subtitles available)
Join ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet for a tour of the International Space Station’s Russian MLM module. The module docked to the Station on 29 July 2021, bringing with it the European Robotic Arm (ERA) that will provide unprecedented access outside the Russian segment.
In this tour, Thomas explains what happened when the module arrived on Station and gives an overview of its facilities and functions. Short for Multipurpose Laboratory Module, and also known as Nauka, the module increases opportunities for science and research in microgravity.
Thomas shows the hatch to access the module, its main hall and a new toilet – the third toilet for the Space Station. He also shows the scientific racks, the piloting station for ERA, a crew quarter, and a second part of the module that will be used for docking with an airlock that will allow experiments to be sent out into the vacuum of space, and a window that – once it is functional – will provide more incredible views over Earth.

think the major reason Russian sent it to ISS is because after 2024, Nauka will be the core module of Russian space station, which is cool cuz there will be 3 space station out there!
Why is the new window covered? Why can you not open the blinds to see the view?
Paa
Thomas, excellent tour guide and, not to bad to look at either. I'm sure you are excited to return back to earth next month. Keep up the great job!
Merci pour ces superbes vidéos qui nous changent du quotidien tout en partageant un peu cette vie si particulière la haut. L'espace de quelques trop courtes minutes on redevient un enfant admiratif. Et merci à Mr Thomas Pesquet toujours aussi impeccable dans ses présentations
Great first look at the MLM Nauka module!
