arXiv:2608.21685v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This article presents a novel 3D reconstruction and mapping of the interior of the International Space Station (ISS) using 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). Using existing grayscale images from the Astrobee free-flying robot dataset, we construct a full 3D splat of the ISS' Kib\=o or Japanese Experiment Module (JEM).
