Veteran cosmonaut, Anton Shkaplerov, is on his 4th flight to space. He will really be helping with the recording for the motion picture.
This brings the overall on board the ISS to 10, as the three space flyers sign up with Thomas Pesquet of ESA (European Space Agency), NASA astronauts Mark Vande Hei, Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, Aki Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Novitskiy and Pyotr Dubrov. Vande Hei is currently working towards finishing the longest single spaceflight by an astronaut in U.S. history, at 355 days. Hes arranged to go back to Earth in March 2022.

While astronauts have helped movie previous documentaries about the ISS and the Hubble Space Telescope, this is the first film with real actors to in fact be recorded in space. Russian journalist Vitaly Egorov told NPR that Russias space company made obvious of filmmaking junket, saying that the task “promotes our area program and reveals it hasnt collected cobwebs, that were still flying and can develop fascinating ideas.”.
Some reports say NASA is working with Tom Cruise to shoot a movie in external space.

The Russian film has to do with a cosmetic surgeon, played by Peresild who needs to operate on a sick cosmonaut in space because his medical condition prevents his go back to Earth. The real launch was filmed as part of the film, with the Baikonur Cosmodrome becoming a film set.
Cosmonaut Shkaplerov belongs to Expedition 66, a long-term mission expected to last 174 days, while the spaceflight individuals Shipenko and Peresild will simply remain onboard for less than 2 weeks to shoot their scenes.
They are expected to go back to Earth with Novitskiy Oct. 16 on another Soyuz craft, which has actually been docked at the area station for several months. They will make a parachute-assisted landing on the Kazakh steppe.

The real docking of the Soyuz to the ISS created a little drama since of communications problems that caused Shkaplerov taking manual control of the spacecraft to finish the docking. This occasion included about 10 minutes to the expected docking time, which cut it close to when there was a recognized upcoming brief interactions blackout.
” Anton, we have extremely little time left,” Russian mission control said. “After that, just as you trained for. Youll be fine.”.
” I can see everything actually well,” Shkaplerov radioed down, soon before safely docking.
Whether that little bit of “drama” will be added to the film is not understood at this time.
When the area leaflets came on board, some on Twitter questioned why Peresild was using a red uniform– which on the Star Trek shows and films is the characters who are expendable and rather often end up killed.

Earlier this week, a Soyuz spacecraft launched to the International Space Station with 3 people on board. The other 2 crew members were Russian actress Yulia Peresild and film manufacturer Klim Shipenko. They will be on the ISS for 12 days to movie scenes for an upcoming film, called “Challenge.”.

Earlier this week, a Soyuz spacecraft released to the International Space Station with 3 people on board. However only one of them was a cosmonaut. The other 2 crew members were Russian actress Yulia Peresild and film manufacturer Klim Shipenko. They will be on the ISS for 12 days to film scenes for an approaching motion picture, called “Challenge.”.
NASA states the film crew is there under a commercial arrangement in between Roscosmos and Moscow-based media entities, including that “the launch will mark the expansion of commercial area chances to include feature filmmaking.”.
