Highlights
- Russia prepares to shoot the first outer space movie “Challenge”
- Four non-professional crew to be sent to space with preparations
- NASA and Roscosmos have taken the best preparations for this event.
To be different in the field, Russia has decided to choose four people to serve as a non-professional crew for the first movie to be shot in space. The space agency of Russia, Roscosmos had already announced this decision to the world with a proud voice last Thursday. Most of this crew has been scheduled to travel to space on the Soyuz MS-19 on October 5th. The crew will be delivered gradually to the International Space Station and, the entire unit will orbit Earth at an altitude of 220 miles. NASA has confirmed this news of shooting an outer space movie.
Outer Space Movie To Be Shot In Russia
The team has to be prepared to shoot in space. There are some issues with parachute training and the habit of living on the zero-gravity plane. There will be equipment like centrifuge tests, vibration stand, and introductory performance that has to be conducted with these four members to be ready for the entire experience of the Russian movie.
Crew Under Preparations
The film has the title “Challenge”, and the four members are likely to start their training by the end of May. The agency has already informed this. Soon after a medical screening and cast decision, Russia has chosen 36-year-old actor Yulia Peresild and Klim Shipenko, actor and director, to be in the main crew. Alena Mordovina has been included in the crew as well with camera director Alexei Dudin. They were initially mentioned in the reserve crew of the outer space movie.
Lack Of Dependence On Russia
It has been seen that Russia sent the last crew to the International Space Station in October 2020. The crew contained a US member for the very last time. This has ended the dependency of the United States of America on Russians to send their natives to space. The launch capability of the crew has improved over time and, the US no longer has to depend on Russia for the launching processes, even for an outer space movie.
It will be a step in the advancement of technology as the movies are shot in space. Russia has taken the first step towards change, and the world will soon continue. We can hope to see the best outer space movies like “Interstellar” in real space.
