Hong Kong Space Museum Launches "Shenzhou 13 - Space Travel" Sky Show Tomorrow

Hong Kong Space Museum to launch new sky show "Shenzhou 13 - Space Travel"

The Hong Kong Space Museum will launch a new sky show, "Shenzhou 13 - Space Travel", at its Space Theatre from tomorrow (May 15). This is China's first space-filmed full-dome movie, shot by Chinese astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu. It takes audiences on board the Shenzhou-13 spacecraft on a journey to the Tiangong Space Station, pursuing the dream of space exploration.

On October 16, 2021, the three astronauts went aboard Shenzhou-13 to the Tiangong Space Station, where they stationed and began their six-month space mission. Through the cameras operated by the astronauts, audiences will be enthralled by an immersive journey, piercing through the atmosphere, understanding daily life and work at the space station, and marvelling at the shimmering sea of city lights during a glimpse of our magnificent blue planet from a unique perspective.

Enhanced with computer animation, the show presents various stages of the in-orbit assembly of the Tiangong Space Station and recreates the docking process of the Shenzhou spacecraft with the Tianhe Core Module. Audiences will also witness the historic moment when Wang Yaping became the first Chinese female astronaut to walk in space as she successfully completed her extravehicular mission.

The 28-minute show will be run until February 14, 2027. Screening times are 3.30pm and 8pm on weekdays, and 2pm and 6.30pm on weekends and public holidays. Tickets priced at $30 (front stalls) and $40 (stalls) are now available at the Hong Kong Space Museum Box Office and URBTIX (www.urbtix.hk).
