Write about this on The Verge.

Such surveys for the project took place for half a year by astronaut of the European Space Agency Thomas Peske. In addition to shots outside the planet, annotations have also been added to help users better understand what is pictured.

We have fixed a lot of problems before collecting the final image that you see today in Street View. The ISS has technical equipment on the entire surface, with a large number of cables and a complex circuit with modules in all directions,
- said Pesca.

To create photos in a non-weighty environment, Google together with NASA experts have developed a way where, with the help of a conventional mirror camera and other equipment, the captured footage was glued to a panoramic image on Earth.

"Six months that I spent at the International Space Station, it's hard to describe in words, and no sense of being in space will pass any photos," added Pesca.
