For a limited time only, leading VR company Eclipso has announced the launch of a new experience at its London venue, Space Explorers: The ISS Experience, offering audiences the chance to take the ultimate journey beyond our world.
Beginning on 18th June, the residency at Eclipso marks the European premiere of the experience, inspired by the acclaimed immersive series Space Explorers: The ISS Experience, created and produced by Felix & Paul Studios.
Rooted in real-life space missions conducted in collaboration with NASA and leading international space agencies, the experience presented by Eclipso has been developed by PHI Studio, Infinity Experiences, and Felix & Paul Studios to transform this landmark space storytelling project into a collective free-roaming immersive experience. This free-roaming immersive experience is adapted from Space Explorers: THE INFINITE — the internationally acclaimed production co-created by PHI Studio and Felix & Paul Studios, which has welcomed more than 500,000 visitors worldwide since 2021.
Fewer than 300 people have travelled to the International Space Station over the past two decades. Space Explorers: The ISS Experience offers visitors extraordinary access to life beyond Earth through one of the world’s most ambitious free-roaming VR experiences, dedicated to space exploration.
The groundbreaking experience captures the daily life of real astronauts in the largest media production ever filmed in space, delivering an unprecedented journey, with custom-engineered camera systems, designed to operate both inside and outside the station.
Using cutting-edge free-roaming VR technology, and through blending a detailed 3D model of the ISS with filmed footage, guests can explore in stunning 3D 360°, walking alongside astronauts and gaining access to their daily lives, spacewalks, and sweeping views of Earth from low orbit. Space Explorers: The ISS Experience delivers the closest sensation yet to being in outer space without ever leaving the ground.
During the experience, visitors are transported nearly 250 miles above Earth, moving in and out of the ISS itself. The journey goes beyond observation, offering intimate encounters and interviews with real astronauts featured in the experience, alongside quiet, awe-inspiring moments of Earth-gazing that evoke the “overview effect”, the overwhelming feeling astronauts describe when seeing Earth from space.
Antoine Lieutaud, Founder and CEO of Eclipso, said: “Space Explorers: The ISS Experience is unlike anything we have ever brought to our audiences, and there is nowhere more fitting than London to make that leap, as one of the world’s cultural capitals, the city is a place where art, science, and ambition come together. By placing visitors inside the International Space Station alongside real astronauts, we are offering a perspective that very few people have ever known. It is humbling, awe-inspiring, and deeply human, and we are proud to be bringing it to London for the very first time.”
Eric Albert, CEO of Infinity Experiences, added: “Audiences no longer have to simply watch stories about space exploration. With The ISS Experience, they become participants. It’s about offering a deeply human experience—one that inspires curiosity, humility, and a renewed sense of our shared place in the universe.”
Dr Becky Smethurst, Astrophysicist at the University of Oxford, said: “The International Space Station orbits Earth at 17,500 miles per hour, completing a full orbit every 90 minutes, meaning astronauts witness 16 sunrises every single day. That perspective fundamentally changes how people see our planet, triggering what scientists call the overview effect – an overwhelming sense of awe and interconnectedness that astronauts describe when seeing Earth from space. This experience brings that feeling down to Earth, and that is not something you forget easily.”
Since the international premiere in Montreal in 2021, Space Explorers: THE INFINITE has garnered legions of fans during stops in Houston (Texas) Seattle/Tacoma (Washington), San Francisco/Richmond (California), Vancouver (British Columbia), Denver (Colorado), West Palm Beach (Florida), Charlotte (North Carolina), Edmonton (Alberta), Mississauga (Toronto), Atlanta (Georgia), Shanghai, and Singapore. London now joins this list of global destinations, underscoring the city’s growing role as a cultural and creative hub.
