Actress Yulia Peresild and director Klim Shipenko took off from a site in Kazahkstan Tuesday with astronaut Anton Shkaplerov. They arrived about three hours later at the International Space Station where they will stay for 12 days.

The future film is called Challenge. It tells the story of a doctor who hurries to the space station to help an astronaut with a heart problem.

The passengers had four months to get ready for the space trip. Peresild said training for the trip was difficult. But, she said, once they reach their goal, “all that will seem not so difficult and we will remember it with a smile.” Shipenko said he will finish the movie back home after filming in space. Two other Russian astronauts already on the space station will also perform in the movie.

Dmitry Rogozin heads the Russian space agency Roscosmos and has been a major force behind the project. “Space deserves being shown in a more professional(专业的), artful way,” he said.

Rogozin said he edited the script(剧本) himself to correctly represent the realities of space travel. “We describe some real emergencies(紧急情况) that may happen out there,” he said.

Oleg Novitskiy is an experienced Russian astronaut. He will play the character with the heart problem in the movie. When that is done, he will return to captain’s seat of the Soyuz spacecraft and bring the actress and director back to Earth.
