Among the Stars

Among the Stars is a six-part documentary series that follows NASA astronaut Captain Chris Cassidy on a quest to return to space for one last mission. The mission: a series of complex spacewalks to repair a $2 billion science experiment, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS). But when Chris is taken off the mission, his partner Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano must step up with NASA astronaut and first-time flier Drew Morgan. While Luca and Drew launch to the International Space Station, the team on the ground is under pressure to finalize the spacewalk tools in time. Any astronaut will tell you they’re just the tip of the iceberg, and that a successful mission relies on a team made up of engineers, flight controllers, and specialists of all varieties. The four AMS spacewalks unfold in a dramatic fashion. Meanwhile, Chris gets charged with a new mission to return to the International Space Station as Commander and sole representative of America and its partners - the European Space Agency (ESA), Japanese Space Agency (JAXA), and Canadian Space Agency (CSA). His training takes him to Russia, Japan, and Germany before launching amidst COVID-19 chaos. On board he ushers in a new era of space travel with SpaceX's arrival and finally gets to exit hatch himself on several spacewalks keeping the station alive.
