Astronaut and space station footage
Astronauts at work, from NASA's Image and Video Library: spacewalks outside the International Space Station, crews inside it, underwater and simulator training, and the flight controllers in mission control.
These are the best matches in the index today, each with the exact seconds in its film. Ask Claude for a shot by its number to get a trimmed MP4 and the credit line.
