Ukrainian Columbus

Ukrainian Columbus is a virtual reality experience about the life and space travel of the first Ukrainian astronaut Leonid Kadeniuk. It is a story of a difficult journey that awaits anyone who dreams of flying to space.

We are placing you in Leonid Kadeniuk's "shoes" with the help of virtual reality, so you could experience his unique journey firsthand. Relive historic moments of Leonid Kadeniuk's space mission, such as tending to the plants in zero gravity, placing back the Spartan satellite with the help of the Canadarm, dancing to Ukrainian music, and taking breathtaking photographs of planet Earth from outer space!

The experience also features biographical scenes from Leonid Kadeniuk's life that contributed to his dream of flying to space coming true.

For now, the experience is in Ukrainian only. 

We are currently working on the English VO, so we could share this important story with more viewers around the world.
