A Kickstarter campaign worth signing up to for a new title from the acclaimed photographer Roland Miller (he produced the book Abandoned in Space a few years back) in collaboration with astronaut Paolo Nespoli.

According to Roland the book, "Interior Space: A Visual Exploration of the International Space Station," is...

...a collaboration with Italian astronaut, Paolo Nespoli, to document and interpret the interior of the International Space Station. Paolo and I have produced a book of images from this collaboration, "Interior Space: A Visual Exploration of the International Space Station." The book is being published by Damiani Editore in Bologna, Italy, in time for the 20th anniversary of continuous human habitation of the ISS on November 2, 2020

If you missed the Kickstarter campaign, "Interior Space" is now available for order through Paolo Nespoli's website and Amazon.

Interior Space: A Visual Exploration of the International Space Station
Photographs by Roland Miller and Paolo Nespoli
Essays by Alice Gorman and Justin St. P. Walsh

Unseen images of the International Space Station, untenanted and eerie: the legacy of humanity's fragile foothold in space.

On November 2 2020, NASA celebrates the 20th anniversary of continuous human habitation in space of the International Space Station. In Interior Space, American photographer Roland Miller and Italian astronaut and photographer Paolo Nespoli offer an in-depth portrait of the ISS, creating amazing unpeopled images of the interior of the ISS for the first time. As internationally acclaimed scholars of space archaeology Alice Gorman and Justin St. P. Walsh write in their essays, the ISS speaks not only of who we are and will be, but also of who we were. In 2024 the ISS will be abandoned; in 2028 it will be destroyed. This book provides us with an eerie account of what will remain in the space after our passing.

Italian-born astronaut Paolo Nespoli (born 1957) spent 313 days in space. After a career in the military, he earned a M.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering, then joined the European Space Agency spending time in Europe, the US and Russia. In 2007 he flew on the Space Shuttle and then, in 2010 to 2011 and 2017, he flew again to the International Space Station with the Russian Soyuz. He retired in 2018 from the astronaut corps launching a career as an international public speaker.

Chicago-born photographer Roland Miller (born 1958) taught photography at Brevard Community College in Cocoa, Florida, for 14 years, where he visited many nearby NASA launch sites. He is the author of the acclaimed book "Abandoned in Place: Preserving America’s Space History," documenting deactivated and repurposed space launch and test facilities around the US. In 2017 he started the project "Interior Space." His work is held at the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago and at the NASA Art Collection in Washington, DC.

NASA History release
NASA History Virtual Brown Bag Talk: 'Interior Space: Preserving the History and Culture of the International Space Station through Photographic Interpretation'

Please join us on November 18, 2020 at 12:00 p.m. EST for our Virtual History Brown Bag talk: Roland Miller, "Interior Space: Preserving the History and Culture of the International Space Station through Photographic Interpretation."

To historically preserve and artistically interpret the International Space Station, Astronaut Paolo Nespoli and photographer Roland Miller collaboratively photographed the interior of the ISS during Expeditions 52 and 53 — Paolo on the station and Roland on the Earth.

Many important and informative photographs have been made by astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Most of these have been views of the Earth, and rightly so. Others are of astronauts performing activities and documenting experiments. There is, however, a dearth of images that intentionally document and interpret the interior of the ISS itself. As any environment will, life aboard the ISS affects astronauts socially, physically, and mentally. There is a need to examine the cultural, social, historical, and even the aesthetic aspects of the ISS environment. Investigating this environment through photography and from artistic and sociological perspectives is critical to this goal.
