- DirectorPierre de LespinoisStarsWayne D. BarloweCurtis ClarkJames GarvinThe CGI or computer animated drama/documentary takes place on Darwin IV, a planet 6.5 light years from earth, with 2 suns and 60% of Earth's gravity. Having identified Darwin as a world that could support life, Earth sends a pilot mission consisting of the Mothership Von Braun and three probes: Balboa, Da Vinci, and Newton. This robotic fleet is responsible for finding and assessing any life forms on Darwin IV. Initially, the expectation is to find microscopic life, but the probes soon find themselves in the middle of a developed ecosystem teeming with diversity of life of all sizes. The drama on Darwin IV is motivated by real science missions, such as the NASA Origins Program and the NASA / JPL Planet-Finder Mission, as well as the European Space Agency's Darwin Project. "Alien Planet " is a cosmic expedition along side Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, Jack Horner, Craig Venter, and George Lucas, and NASA's Chief Scientist Jim Garvin. No longer just the domain of science fiction, "Alien Planet" dramatizes an exciting and possible answer to what alien life really looks like and when we'll find it.

- DirectorAl ReinertThe ISS has been continually inhabited for nearly twenty years by more than 220 people from over 20 nations. Five different space agencies from the US, Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada came together to build the ISS over the course of more than 100 spaceflights. It is the model for the future of human space exploration, as well as a reason to believe we can solve intractable problems on Earth. Above It All tells how the ISS came into being, how it was built, maintained, and brought together all of those people in the spirit of cooperation -- with the intention of exploring our solar system and our universe together.
- DirectorMegan O'HoweStarsMegan O'HoweWe can speed up the development of space allowing more renewable energy to compete, heal the environment and develop more efficient antimatter propulsion at a cheaper cost. Warp drive research is based in nature and theory.
- DirectorTheofanis N. MatsopoulosTelescopes are high technology scientific instruments which collect light from distant celestial objects. With these noble instruments humans managed to dive into the deep space and collect valuable scientific information about the formation, life and death of planets, stars and galaxies. All this knowledge helps us to understand how nature works in the large scale and determines our place in the magnificent Cosmos. In this 30 min fulldome documentary, the Greek director Theofanis Matsopoulos, describes in a simple and understandable way, how telescopes work, their historical evolution and also travels the audience to some of the most important observatories in the world. The immersive experience of the documentary is breathtaking , due to the extensive use of real 4k fulldome video footage of the observatories and telescopes.
