"We fly over the Bahamas under the clouds," he wrote in the video's caption.
In May last year, NASA astronauts deployed to the ISS experimental inflatable module VEAM, intended for the residence of the crew members of the station. It is planned that tests of BEAM will be conducted for a minimum of two years. During this time, astronauts will appreciate its ability to protect against radiation, keep temperature, and also resist the impacts of micrometeorites, the action of dust and other factors of the space environment.
