Station Tour: Harmony, Tranquility, Unity In this video, we take a tour of three of the International Space Station's (ISS) most important modules: Harmony, Tranquility, and Unity. Harmony is the newest module on the ISS, and it serves as a docking port for visiting spacecraft. It also houses the Tranquility module, which contains the ISS's living quarters and the Cupola, a large window that provides stunning views of Earth. Unity is the oldest module on the ISS, and it serves as a central hub for the station. It connects the Harmony and Tranquility modules, as well as the Russian modules Zvezda and Pirs. We'll also take a look at some of the experiments that are being conducted in these modules, and we'll hear from some of the astronauts who have lived and worked on the ISS. So come with us as we take a tour of Harmony, Tranquility, and Unity, and learn more about this amazing spacecraft!

It also houses the Tranquility module, which contains the ISS's living quarters and the Cupola, a large window that provides stunning views of Earth. Experiments being conducted in Harmony include the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which is searching for dark matter, and the Cold Atom Laboratory, which is studying the behavior of atoms at very low temperatures. Tranquility is the ISS's living quarters, and it contains sleeping quarters for six astronauts, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a gym. Experiments being conducted in Tranquility include the Human Research Facility, which is studying the effects of long-term spaceflight on the human body, and the Vegetable Production System, which is growing plants in space. Unity is the oldest module on the ISS, and it serves as a central hub for the station. It connects the Harmony and Tranquility modules, as well as the Russian modules Zvezda and Pirs. Experiments being conducted in Unity include the Destiny Laboratory, which is conducting a variety of scientific experiments, and the Quest Airlock, which is used to conduct spacewalks. Some of the astronauts who have lived and worked on the ISS include Sunita Williams, the first Indian-American woman to go into space Scott Kelly, who spent a record 340 days in space Peggy Whitson, the most experienced woman in space Chris Hadfield, who became a social media sensation after posting videos from the ISS Jessica Meir, the first woman to perform a spacewalk outside the ISS since 2015
