Key portions of the International Space Station are also visible from a window on Russia's newest addition to the orbiting lab, the Nauka Multipurpose Laboratory Module. From left to right are Japan's Kibo laboratory module with its attached Exposed Facility, where a variety of experiments are placed in the vacuum of space, including: the Japanese robotic arm attached to Kibo; the Leonardo Multipurpose Logistics Module attached to the Tranquility module; and the seven-windowed cupola and the Bigelow Expandable Module, or BEAM, attached to Tranquility.
