International Space Station to go on tour with VR exhibit 'The Infinite'

For more than 20 years, the International Space Station has hosted crews numbering two to 13 astronauts at a time. Soon, though, it will open its hatches to a continuous stream of more than 100 people — and you can join them.

"THE INFINITE: Living Among the Stars," a new, immersive touring exhibition, will open up the space station to the public by tapping into the largest media project to ever be filmed in space.

'The Infinite' VR space station tour to bring exclusive spacewalk to Houston

Houston, home of the training facilities and mission control for NASA's operations on the International Space Station (ISS), is set to host the U.S. premiere of a virtual and augmented reality adventure to the orbiting outpost.

"The Infinite," which is set to launch on Dec. 20 just outside downtown Houston, promises an opportunity for hundreds of people at a time to experience what it is like to live and work in Earth orbit. The installation is based on the Emmy Award-winning "Space Explorers: The ISS Experience," the largest ever media project to be filmed in space, produced by Felix & Paul Studios together with TIME Studios.

Houston, you are go for a spacewalk: 'The Infinite' launches VR space station tours

There is a moment in The Infinite, if you are standing in the right place at the right time, where you can find yourself in front of NASA astronaut Drew Morgan as he tries to describe what is like to come on board the International Space Station for the first time. Try as he might, he cannot find the words to properly capture the feeling.

"Amazing ... incredible," he says, as he rattles off adjectives that just do not do the moment justice.

Infinity Experiences release
The World's First-Ever Immersive Space Expedition, Space Explorers: The Infinite, Launches Its Fourth Tour Stop in Northern California This October

Guests will be welcomed to experience an awe-inspiring virtual reality excursion as they immerse themselves in this multi-sensory, interactive attraction beginning Thursday, Oct. 13.

"Space Explorers: The Infinite," the world's first and largest virtual reality experience about space, continues its multi-year international tour with its fourth stop landing at The Craneway Pavilion in California this October. Following incredible runs in Montreal, Houston and Seattle-Tacoma, the NASA-inspired expedition will welcome Northern California guests to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to outer space beginning Thursday, Oct. 13.

Located at the historic and stunning waterfront destination, "Space Explorers: The Infinite" will welcome experience seekers, space aficionados and guests alike as they ascend on this first-of-its-kind virtual reality odyssey into space. The highly-acclaimed exhibit will take guests on a 60-minute journey as they roam freely inside a full-scale 3D replica of the International Space Station (ISS), float in space alongside the astronauts, and admire breathtaking sights of Earth that only a handful have ever seen before - all without ever leaving the ground. Following the life-changing virtual reality journey, guests will be welcomed to enjoy immersive art offerings presented by famed Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda.

"Space is a subject that touches all generations, from the first walk on the moon to the first mission to Mars. It has fed our imagination for centuries, and we are thrilled to be able to share this transformative exhibition with the Northern California community," said Félix Lajeunesse, co-founder and creative director of Felix & Paul Studios. "We currently have welcomed over 170,000 guests, providing them with a powerful experience surrounding space exploration that truly cannot be found anywhere else, and we are excited to continue this journey and provide guests with such an incredible opportunity to witness space like never before." said Éric Albert, Co-CEO of Infinity Experiences Inc.

Produced by Infinity Experiences, a joint venture of PHI Studio and Felix & Paul Studios, "Space Explorers: The Infinite" redefines the frontiers of the user experience throughout the 12,500-square-foot space. Guests will quickly become a part of the station's crew as they lift off on their very own voyage into space while interacting with offerings throughout the ISS replica. Adding to the thrilling experience, explorers will witness the astronaut's epic conquests first-hand, including the first-ever cinematic spacewalk captured in 3D, 360° virtual reality, shot outside the ISS — making for an immensely powerful and magnificent experience.

"Space Explorers: The Infinite" is an extension of the Primetime Emmy Award-winning immersive series, "Space Explorers: The ISS Experience," the largest production ever filmed in space, produced by Felix & Paul Studios in association with TIME Studios, in collaboration with the U.S. ISS National Laboratory, NASA and five more international space agencies. Shot over a period of three years and producing more than 250 hours of high-end virtual reality footage, the four-part immersive series documents the life of ten international astronauts inside — and outside — the ISS.
