Join a crew of astronauts as they board the International Space Station for a life-changing mission of adventure when Emporia State University’s Peterson Planetarium debuts the new presentation “Space Explorers: The ISS Experience” in August.
The first episode, “Adapt,” documents the arrival of the astronauts in an immersive, 30-minute program as they discover the joy, wonder and dangers of living in space. The show features astronauts Anne McClain, David Saint-Jacques, Christina Koch and Kansas native Nick Hague.
