In order to document life in space, Felix & Paul Studios provided a zero gravity virtual reality camera to astronauts aboard the ISS, including David Saint-Jacques. Shot entirely on board the ISS, this film will feed everyone's curiosity about the challenges of life in weightlessness in a confined environment.
Space Explorers: The ISS Experience, the production's first episode, introduces astronauts Anne McClain, David Saint-Jacques, Christina Koch and Nick Hague as they face the disorientation of weightlessness and react to potentially catastrophic situations by leveraging their years of training. Spectators will experience the extreme nature of this unique production lived by the astronauts.
Thanks to a 360o dome projection, everyone will have an immersive experience with family or friends. Not to mention the new laser-type projectors that significantly increase image resolution and provide ten times the brightness to explore the beauty of space in all its glory.
This first part will get adventurers ready for the sequel to the film, which will be released in 2022: the spacewalk.
Space Explorers: The ISS Experience will premiere on September 28 at the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan. Find out more about the movie schedule.
Space Explorers: The ISS Experience was written by Félix Lajeunesse and Paul Raphaël. It was produced with the collaboration of the ISS U.S. National Laboratory, NASA, Canadian Space Agency, European Space Agency, Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency and Roscosmos State.
