'ISS Experience' to bring public onto and outside space station in VR

What if you could visit the International Space Station, join its crew for their daily activities and even go outside on a spacewalk — all without having to leave your home, let alone the ground?

That is the ambitious idea behind The ISS Experience, an immersive documentary series from TIME and Felix & Paul Studios. Now being filmed on board the space station, the yearlong project was announced at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah on Saturday (Jan. 26).

"We will take audiences inside and outside of the space station through the immersive and experiential power of virtual reality," said Félix Lajeunesse, creative director at Felix & Paul Studios. "We're going to look at the research, the science and the work that is done on the International Space Station. And we're also going to look closely at the reality and challenges of learning to live in space."

The largest production ever filmed in space, Space Explorers: The ISS Experience is an epic four-part immersive series that invites you to join eight astronauts on life-changing missions aboard the International Space Station. Shot over two years with exclusive access to the crew, The ISS Experience offers an intimate take on the joy, wonder, and dangers of life in orbit.

The ISS Experience is available in fully-immersive virtual reality (VR) on Oculus Quest and Rift headsets, and 5G-enabled smartphones and tablets and in domes and planetariums in select regions. See here for ways to watch.

'ISS Experience' puts viewers aboard the space station in 3D 360-degree VR

A new crew member has arrived at the International Space Station. They did not get there by launching on a rocket or riding on a spacecraft. Rather, they simply put on a headset — and you could be next.

The largest production ever filmed in space has resulted in an experience like no other. "Space Explorers: The ISS Experience," from Felix & Paul Studios, in association with TIME Studios, uses 3D, 360-degree virtual reality (VR) footage to not just show the viewer the inside of the space station, but add them to its crew.
