From the 50 second mark the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft can be seen against the backdrop of Earth. The Dragon spacecraft was the first commercially built and operated spacecraft to successfully take supplies to and from the International Space Station. Its seventh mission for the Commercial Resupply contract will begin on the 26th June, with the launch aboard the Falcon 9 rocket.
Throughout the rest of the video we see the astronauts going about their daily space lives. From the installation of scientific experiments brought to the ISS by cargo spacecraft like Dragon, to the fantastic view of atolls and hurricanes that the astronauts get to see every day.
