The new footage from China's space station shows amazing images of Earth as a robotic arm inspects the outside of the outpost.

There are two modules in the space station. The robotic arm that launched with the core module has a camera that it can use to look at the outside of the station. In July of this year, the Wentian module joined the space program.

A new video released this week by China's human spaceflight agency shows various views of the large solar array that provide power for the space station. The orb-like control moment gyros that control the station's attitude are visible.

It is possible to see seas and clouds on Earth. The current crew of Chen, Liu, and Cai Xuzhe are visible at times.

An update of the station's status was provided by the work. It was confirmed that the Wentian module is ready to move from the forward port on the space station's docking hub to a port on the starboard side.

The docking port for Wentian will be moved before the launch of the third module.

China wants to operate the space station for at least 10 years.
