International space station interior movie#
Given that veteran cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev was sacked for objecting to the movie plans (he was later reinstated), I’m wondering what Yulia Peresild’s reception will be like. However, in Russia, medicine is seen as a female profession. I’ve even heard a cosmonaut trainer say, “Space is no place for a woman.” Her crewmates on the Mir space station presented her with an apron when she arrived, joking that she’d work in the kitchen. Svetlana Savitskaya was the second female cosmonaut in 1982. How will the cosmonaut crew react to a female “space tourist”?Īfter Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space in 1963, only four other Russian women have ever left Earth. There are cables everywhere walls cluttered with equipment, tools, food packages, and notes and more than 6,000 objects lost by the crew.Ĭhallenge, being the first (professional) space movie to be filmed in space, raises several questions. By contrast, the International Space Station is a mess, more Red Dwarf than 2001: A Space Odyssey. Space stations in the movies are often very “space-agey” with futuristic minimalist interiors. The main work is scientific experiments, but as some parts of the station are over 20 years old, a lot of maintenance is also required.

Usually there are between three and six crew living on the station. Spacecraft like the Soyuz and Dragon regularly dock with the station to bring crew and supplies, and return others to Earth. There are six Russian modules in the Russian Orbital Segment, while the US Orbital Segment consists of 11 modules run by the US, Japan, and the European Space Agency. The station consists of 16 modules locked together in a cross configuration. A Japanese documentary and an American movie, starring Tom Cruise, are also in the works.

Commercial use of its facilities could be a funding avenue to keep it in orbit. This is an exciting-if controversial-development for the station, which orbits around 400 kilometers above Earth.

Peresild plays a surgeon who must conduct a heart operation on a sick cosmonaut. Director Klim Shipenko and actor Yulia Peresild will spend a week and a half on the station shooting scenes for the Russian movie Challenge. On October 5, an unusual crew will fly to the International Space Station.
