We Are Astronauts

This event has finished Took place on: Saturday, 15th Aug 2015

 Free

Join us in cities all across the planet for launch parties to celebrate the start of the SpaceVR project!

To celebrate SpaceVR’s launching a virtual reality camera to the International Space Station, the OPEN SPACE AGENCY (OSA) is holding an inaugural event exploring current state of the art in democratising space exploration.

Over the past few years, social media has allowed people to reconnect with space exploration. A new generation has discovered the joy and elation of audacious mission concepts as Curiosity, Rosetta, Dawn and New Horizons have delivered to our smartphones near real-time images from across the solar system, creating an interest in space not seen since the Apollo Moonshots. Meanwhile live-tweeting Astronauts, guitars on the ISS and the promise of space tourism have made space feel more accessible than ever.

Are we heading into a new golden age for space?

Come join us and guest speakers from the space industry on Saturday, August 15th to contribute to the discussion.

Learn about OSA’s work to harness a new generation of citizen space explorers

"We hope to bring the deep, life-changing experience that all astronauts feel - the overview effect - to the average person," - Ryan Holmes, SpaceVR's founder, CEO, and chief product architect
