The testing of the spherical drone of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)began at the International Space Station. Made on a 3D printer, it looks like a character from futuristic anime. This is a flying ball with a diameter of 15 cm and weighing 1 kg, with "eyes" - luminous blue circles. The drone, which can "swim" in any direction and capture images from any angle, already sends photographs and video material available to researchers on the Earth in real time from the ISS. JAXA says that Int-Ball can not only take photos and video on the ISS, but also help with the diagnosis of problems on board.
