In June 2015, shortly before returning to Earth, astronaut Samantha Cristoforti photographed all the components of the space station from the inside, as well as videos including explanations of some of the components, including explanations of how they sleep in space, how they eat, and from where they observe the Earth
For the virtual tour of the space station - on the website of the European Space Agency
Shortly before astronaut Samantha Cristoforti left the space station after setting a record for an astronaut's stay in space - 199 days, she took 15 photos inside each component of the space station. Now these photos have been combined into an interactive panorama image that translates into a virtual journey inside the space station.
The panoramic images allow an interactive glimpse of the International Space Station as of June 2015, after the Leonardo storage component was moved to its new location.
Surfers are invited to explore the modules and zoom in to see more details. Clicking on the map or on the figurines (icons) depicting arrows next to the entrance of the component, allows a transition to another component in the station. Every part of the station can be explored except for the Russian components. The full space station journey will be possible later.
Among the sites on the station where Kristoferti expands the explanation in videos can be found the living wing, where you can see her getting ready for sleep "under the floor:", the eating area, as well as the airlocks used by the astronauts for space walks and more.
Click on the 'play' icons to watch Samantha explain or demonstrate an object, or on text to read articles online. Finally, the European Space Agency recommends doing the exploration in full screen to enjoy the full panoramic image.
This panoramic tour of the space station was enhanced with the help of Thomas Rauscher of Vienna, Austria, who helped blend several images together for some of the components.

If so, you won't be an astronaut!
I got claustrophobic from the tour
