A Montreal-based company will be the first to chronicle a space walk from the International Space Station with a 360-dregree camera.

, which specializes in virtual reality films, has chronicled the lives of astronauts at the International Space Station for two years. Next week will be the first time ever that a 360-degree camera is used to document the space walk in its entirety at the ISS.

The 360-degree camera will be rigged to a robotic arm attached to the space station and will function as a crane to document NASA astronaut Kate Rubins and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Soichi Noguichi’s space walk. The entire walk will last six and a half hours. “You have to conceive things differently because you’re in a micro gravity environment so heat dissipation will be different in space when compared to Earth,” said Lajeunesse.

The company remains in direct communication with the astronauts during filming. Astronauts are sent camera positions and lighting directions, all while under the supervision of NASA. At times, Lajeunesse said the astronauts pitch original ideas to contribute to the film’s overall production. “You need to rethink your craft and rethink the way you communicate. You need to start from ground zero in order to be fully operational in an environment like space,” said Lajeunesse.
