Space Explorers: The ISS Experience is a Primetime Emmy award-winning immersive production filmed entirely in space aboard the International Space Station, produced by Felix & Paul Studios in association with TIME Studios.
An unprecedented collaboration with NASA, The ISS Experience utilizes custom-built virtual reality cameras—engineered to operate in zero-gravity. Astronauts filmed over 200 hours of footage capturing their life in space.
The series includes the first-ever scenes in outer space captured in immersive 3D, 360 cinematic virtual reality format. On September 12, 2021, ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet and JAXA astronaut Akihiko Hoshide stepped outside the International Space Station while being recorded with a custom-built immersive camera that was attached to the Canadarm2, a 50-foot-long robotic arm outside the space station.
The footage captured while floating 250 miles above the earth, at an unfathomable pace of 17,500 miles per hour, gives audiences a once-in-a-lifetime perspective of our planet, along with the astronauts who are dedicated to performing this important work.
Space Explorers: The ISS Experience is an intimate and thought-provoking story that sheds light on the day-to-day life of this most distant, but 2-decades-old outpost of humanity.
