A super high quality camera will be installed on the International Space Station

NASA is working with a media studio to bring an immersive experience of the sky to Earth using the ultra-high-definition camera that just arrived on the Space station.

So far, we have seen many amazing photos from the International Space Station, but the new camera that the Cygnus spacecraft brought to the International Space Station during its recent mission can completely transform our experience of Earth and other Space objects.

This new camera is the highest resolution advanced camera ever launched to the International Space Station and the images it captures will provide an immersive experience for the MSG Sphere centers on Earth.

For this project, the recording and technology teams from MSG Sphere Studio collaborated with Nanoracks, NASA and the ISS National Laboratory. They plan to verify the custom camera technology being developed for the MSG Sphere centers in three missions with the help of ISS astronauts. The Northrop Grumman Commercial Service Mission (NG-18) went into Space and arrived at the International Space Station yesterday.

Videos and images taken from the International Space Station will become part of the immersive experience at the MSG Sphere Centers. The media studio describes its hubs as "a new entertainment medium that delivers immersive experiences on an unprecedented scale."

Andrew Shulkind, Senior Vice President of Recording at MSG Studios, said about this "Our vision for MSG Sphere is to create immersive experiences that transport audiences to new places, and there are few sights more inspiring than the space," he noted. The mission we achieve will be invaluable in preparing our groundbreaking camera technology for work in Space and enhancing our collective understanding of Earth and deep space. "We are very excited to be working with Nanoracks, the ISS National Laboratory and NASA on this project, and we believe that this work will not only contribute to the extraordinary vision of the MSG Sphere, but will also set a new trend for ultra-high-quality and high-reliability imaging." The first MSG Sphere in Las Vegas is under construction and is expected to open in the second half of 2023. Once completed, this massive structure will be the largest spherical structure in the world with an outer shell that will feature the largest display on Earth, a fully programmable LED structure with an area of 53,884 square meters.

Inside the hall, it has the world's highest resolution LED screen. A 14,865 square meter screen with a resolution 80 times higher than an HD TV is placed above and behind the audience. With approximately 17,500 seats and the possibility of increasing the capacity to 20,000 guests, this hall will become a place to show a wide range of content, including astronomical content.
