Then you might be an astronaut on today&#8217;s International Space Station (ISS). Designed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the JEM Internal Ball Camera &#8212; informally &#8220;Int-Ball&#8221; &#8212; is a bit larger than a softball, can float and maneuver by itself but also be controlled remotely, can take high resolution images and videos, and is not related to Hello Kitty. Int-Ball was delivered to the ISS in early June and is designed to allow ground-control to increase the monitoring of ISS equipment and activities while decreasing time demands on human astronauts. Int-Ball moves by turning on small internal fans and sees with a camera located between its two dark eyes. via NASA <a href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/2urdlX8\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What if you were followed around by a cute floating ball that kept taking your picture?
