The NASA-funded study will also try to examine how long an astronaut’s brain takes to recover after returning to earth from space.
The video is part of a new series of videos from the space station using a 4K camera, called the RED Epic Dragon, which films at resolutions up to 6,144 x 3,160 pixels.
NASA said in the video description, “The higher resolution images and higher frame rate videos can reveal more information when used on science investigations, giving researchers a valuable new tool aboard the space station”.
Official sources of NASA affirmed that the now released footage is first of its kind from them in a statement.
Earlier this year, they already answered the age-old question you never knew you wanted to ask: what happens when you put an effervescent like an Alka-Seltzer pill into a ball of water floating in zero-gravity. The camera in future is hoped to capture detailed images of celestial bodies and mission processes for study on the Earth.
