“In microgravity, you can tilt a 200-kg rack with just one finger,” Thomas Pesquet wrote when he shared this photo on social media.
Behind the Walls of the Space Station
Walls inside the ISS are more like racks, Pesquet wrote. “They can be dedicated to ventilation, cooling, navigation computers, science, or many other things, but are always full of technology. Sometimes we need to get behind them for maintenance or upgrades, and only then do we get to touch the thin metal layer that isolates us form the vacuum of space.”
Pesquet Runs Haptics-2 Experiment
Running the Haptics-2 experiment, Thomas Pesquet tests telerobotics equipment that was linked to Earth. “I could ‘feel’ things on Earth through the joystick,” Pesquet wrote on social media. The experiment tests ways for future astronauts to control rovers on another planet from orbit.
