Russian Astronaut Shoots From ISS

After my previous post I found even more pictures made from International space Station. Beautiful pictures are made by Oleg Kotov, Russian astronaut.
Here we go:
Haiti, Port-Au-Prince



New York



New Zealand



Mines in Africa



Tibet



Shuttle Endeavour



African Deserts



Suez Canal



Dubai



Aswan Dam (Egypt)


These and more photos from ISS are on the website of the Russian Federal Space Agency

Twitpics from Orbit

I've just come across an article about ISS crew twitpics from the space.

It has some amazing photos made with Nikon DSLR and 800mm lense. Amazing to see the results, but the photos look as close as Google Earth with just 800 mm!
The coolest is famous Golden Gates Bridge.

The photo is made by astronaut Soichi Noguchi. He also tweeted this to Twitpics. Can't stop praising modern science and technologies. Could you imagine this - live picture (made and ouploaded by astonaut) of Haiti's Port-Au-Prince right after the earthquake.


The 5 man crew comprising Expedition 22 aboard the ISS now have the capability to transmit live, unfiltered views and comments from space. And whats more is that starting on Feb. 1 they’ll be streaming live video from the outpost, orbiting some 220 miles above the earth while speeding along at 17,500 MPH.
