For us, being a part of a Hollywood production that is set to demonstrate how our technology can be utilized in critical situations -such as saving the world-  is just incredibly unique and exciting,” said CEO, Benoît Deper.

“We are delighted to team up with Aerospacelab. It is a perfect fit for the space-themed story in our Helios movie, which highlights the use of their cutting-edge satellites in our sci-fi action thriller. We really want to make a film that shows how low earth orbit will actually be like in the year 2030 that is authentic in space technology, and that demonstrates the true solutions available to humanity in a time of crisis. Helios will be attractive to a global audience and a fun thrill-ride popcorn movie,” said Patricia A. Beninati, producer, writer, and president of Centerboro Productions.

“A spaceplane plus crew launches to orbit in a moment of urgency in our Helios movie production, enabling advanced space technology being developed by real companies today to be activated by our film’s heroine” said executive producer, Robert Feierbach. “In highlighting Aerospacelab’s brand as the satellite network in Helios, we aim to demonstrate all technology displayed in our Hollywood movie to be as realistic as possible in the near future, as a mission heads to space to save our planet.”

Set in 2030, the action-thriller tells  the story of a spaceship, Helios, and its crew during their urgent mission to the International Space Station (ISS). When a gigantic solar flare from an incoming cataclysmic solar storm hits the station, it is up to astronomer and former NASA Astronaut Jess Denver and Air Force Colonel Sam Adler to team up and save humanity. Helios is written by Patricia A. Beninati (Hubble: 20 Years of Discovery), Michael K. Anderson (The Wonder Show), and Bernard Moore (Helios).
