A plan to put the world’s first fully function film and TV studio into space , has been announced.It would mean movies about astronauts for example could be filmed in genuine weightlessness rather than relying on studio effects.Called SEE-1 is planned to launch in late 2024 and dock with the International Space Station on orbit around Earth.The module will allow artists, producers, and creatives to develop, produce, record, and live stream content from space.The idea is to maximize the space station’s low-orbit micro-gravity environment for films, television, music and sports events.The inflatable module design provides for around six meters diameter of unobstructed pressurized volume, which can be adapted to a range of activities.These include an onboard state-of-the-art media production capability that will capture and convey the experience of weightlessness with breathtaking impact.The project is being developed by London based Space Entertainment Enterprise .The company was co-founded by film producers Elena and Dmitry Lesnevsky, who are planning the first ever Hollywood motion picture filmed in outer space.

Russian Node Module arrives
On Friday 26 November, astronauts on board the International Space Station welcomed the final Russian module, Prichal, This Node Module provides additional docking ports for Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov oversaw it's docking to the Russian segment.
ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer, who's currently aboard the International Space Station during his Cosmic Kiss mission, took this picture of the module and shared it on his social media channels.

Cosmic pearl
It can be hard to appreciate that a human-made, football-pitch-sized spacecraft is orbiting 400 km above our heads, but there it is.
The jewel of human cooperation and ingenuity that is the International Space Station shines brightly in this image captured by ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet from the SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour.
Crew-2 got these amazing views during a flyaround of the orbiting lab after undocking from the Harmony module on 8 November, before their return to Earth.
Since this image was taken, there has even been a new addition in the form of the Russian Node Module, known as Prichal. The final Russian module planned for the Station, it is a spherical node attached to the Russian segment with six docking ports for future Progress and Soyuz arrivals.
A collaboration between five space agencies, the Station has become a symbol of peaceful international cooperation for 23 years now. It represents the best of our space engineering capabilities as well as humankind’s pursuit of scientific knowledge and exploration.
By any standards, it is an incredible piece of spacecraft engineering. Weighing 420 tonnes, it travels in low-Earth orbit at more than 27 000 km/hour, circling Earth approximately 16 times every day.
Crew members conduct scientific research in microgravity at facilities such as ESA’s Columbus module. Some of these experiments and tests are preparing the way for human exploration of the Moon and beyond. But the Station also provides a unique view of Earth, while its science benefits life on our planet.
Current ESA astronaut in residence is Matthias Maurer, a first-time flier spending around six-months in orbit for his Cosmic Kiss mission. Matthias will continue to support a wide range of European and international science experiments and technological research on the Station before handing off to the next ESA astronaut to fly, Samantha Cristoforetti.

Dinner for ten
ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet and the rest of the International Space Station crew having dinner.
Thomas shared this image on his social media channels with the caption: "Dinner with everybody. Our new crewmembers Klim and Yulia work all day to shoot scenes for their movie, and our cosmonaut friends help them out a lot. I canÕt wait to see the final product! The tradition of our very special ship is to dine all together at least once a week, and itÕs fun to see new faces and hear new stories after five months in our small family. Kind of a warm-up round for resuming social life on Earth in a few weeks!"
