Ultra High Definition Video from the International Space Station

The view of life in space is getting a major boost with the introduction of 4K Ultra High-Definition (UHD) video, providing an unprecedented look at what it's like to live and work aboard the International Space Station.

This important new capability will allow researchers to acquire high resolution — high frame rate video to provide new insight into the vast array of experiments taking place every day. It will also bestow the most breathtaking views of planet Earth and space station activities ever acquired for consumption by those still dreaming of making the trip to outer space.

Editor's note: To view in full resolution, access the video's settings to select 2160p (4K) and switch to full screen.
