From his unique vantage point onboard the International Space Station, ISSInternational Space Station crew member Drew Feustel captured a stunning image of the Great Lakes earlier this week, reminding us of the amazing beauty of our home planet. In addition to the breathtaking views, the ISS also provides a valuable vantage point for Earth observation studies.

Check out some of the ways the ISS National Lab is supporting use of the ISS National Lab as a powerful Earth observation platform:

• Visidyne, Inc.’s Cyclone Intensity Measurements from the ISS (CyMISS) project
