BAFTA Award winning multiplatform TV for the first live documentary from the International Space Station.
Live From Space was an ambitious TV event; broadcasting live from the International Space Station. We were commissioned to create interactive elements to deeply engage the audience in the show, including a suite of websites and videos along with two special interactives.
A specially-created HTML5 mini-game allowed viewers at home to test their skills in zerogravity, which the astronauts aboard the ISS recreated and played for real as part of the live TV show. Over 870,000 balls were fired in the Earth vs Astronauts game by viewers, celebrities and NASA astronauts (62% were on target).
We also built an ISS tracker, which allowed the audience to see the position of the space station relative to their own location on Earth, in real time. This was used by 247,000 viewers to follow the astronaut’s journey around the globe during the live broadcast. For our part in this extraordinary project we won a BAFTA Award for Digital Creativity, and were awarded an achievement certificate by NASA.
