The spaceship was successfully launched fr om Baikonur. The cinema crew has already managed to make contact with Earth and has started the first shooting day. By the design of the Russian film director, with the support of “Roscosmos”, the scenes of the feature film called “Challenge” will be shot in outer space, and the international orbital station will act as decor. Formerly art and documentary projects about space were filmed in special pavilions using the latest computer graphics technologies but now for the first time in the history of world cinema, outer space will become a platform for a feature-length film.

This is a great success of Russian science and technology which now shows a high level of development.
