Fish-eye lens view of the interior of Cupola with shutters closed Berthing operations within Cupola. The International Space Station Cupola was first conceived in 1987 by Space Station Man-Systems Architectural Control Manager Gary Kitmacher as a workstation for operating the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm, maneuvering vehicles outside the station, and observing and supporting spacewalks.
Space Station 3D (simply known as Space Station in 2D format) is a 2002 3D short documentary film about the International Space Station written, produced, edited and directed by Toni Myers. [4] Narrated by Tom Cruise , it is the first IMAX 3D production filmed in space.
In early 1984, the Space Station Task Force described a Berthing Mechanism that would attenuate the loads incurred when two modules were maneuvered into contact with each other, followed by latching. Contact conditions were identified as important, but were not quantified at that time. The same is true for the diameter of the internal passageway.

STS-130 (ISS assembly flight 20A) [7] was a NASA Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS). Space Shuttle Endeavour's primary payloads were the Tranquility module and the Cupola, a robotic control station with six windows around its sides and another in the center, providing a 360-degree view around the station.

Tranquility, also known as Node 3, [1] is a module of the International Space Station (ISS). It contains environmental control systems, life support systems, a toilet, exercise equipment, and an observation cupola. The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) had Tranquility manufactured by Thales Alenia Space.

English: Cupola – ESA/Thales Alenia Space Italy (TAS-I) The Cupola (named after the raised observation deck on a railroad caboose) is a small module designed for the observation of operations outside the ISS such as robotic activities, the approach of vehicles, and extravehicular activity (EVA). It was built in Europe by Thales Alenia Space ...
