Deadline reports that Space Hero Inc., a U.S.-based production company founded by Thomas Reemer and Deborah Sass and led by former News Corp Europe chief Marty Pompadur, has "secured a seat on a 2023 mission to the International Space Station" to go to a contestant chosen through a reality competition show titled "Space Hero."
Produced by Ben Silverman and Howard Owens' Propagate, the series will launch a global search for everyday people from any background who share a deep love for space exploration. They will be vying for the biggest prize ever awarded on TV.

The selected group of contestants will undergo extensive training and face challenges testing their physical, mental and emotional strength, qualities that are essential for an astronaut in space. The idea is for the culmination of the competition to be in a an episode broadcast live around the world where viewers from different countries can vote for the contestant they want to see going to space.

The series will be taken out soon, with a global streaming platform and a broadcast partner in each country, including the U.S., explored as distribution options.

Axiom Space, the space services company led by former NASA space station program manager Michael Suffredini, has confirmed it is working with Space Hero, while clarifying, contrary to Deadline's report that the winner would fly on a SpaceX Dragon, that no launch vehicle partner has been identified.
Axiom is creating universal access to the boundless innovative potential of Low Earth Orbit. Along with constructing and operating the world's first privately-funded commercial space station, Axiom is the industry leader today in offering NASA-level astronaut training and full-service crewed missions to the International Space Station to all interested customers. We look forward to enabling Space Hero's mission and further expanding human presence in space.
