One hour ago for the first time in history a film crew flew to the ISS to film a movie.
Soyuz MS-19
Crew:
- cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, Hero of the Russian Federation, Soyuz MS-19 crewed spacecraft commander, ISS-66 commander, Roscosmos (Russia);
- movie director Klim Shipenko, spaceflight participant, Russia;
- actress Yulia Peresild, spaceflight participant, Russia
The film crew will only spend 12 days on ISS and will return to Earth with Soyuz MS-18.
Currently everything is going well. The flight to ISS will only take 3 hours with only two orbits around the Earth. (Usually it takes a few days.) This two-orbit method was first tested with cargo and then about a year ago with a crew of Soyuz MS-17.
