The image shows the Sahara Desert spread out through the array of windows. The Cupola will house controls for the station robotics and will be a location where crew members can operate the robotic arms and monitor other exterior activities. The location of the image is in Sudan near Al Fashir. Center of the round window is looking at 14.68 degrees north latitude and 26.74 east longitude, recorded with a 12-24mm zoom lens.
