Once Upon the Moon is an immersive fulldome experience that invites audiences to relive one of humanity’s greatest achievements: the first journeys to the Moon. Combining authentic Apollo-era photographs and film footage, scientific data visualization, and personal accounts from astronauts, the film transforms the historic Moon landings into an extraordinary journey through space and time.

The experience takes viewers back to the Apollo missions, following astronauts as they travel from Earth to the lunar surface and explore its vast, rugged landscape. Through interviews with Apollo astronauts Charlie Duke and Harrison Schmitt, alongside contemporary explorers Christina Koch and Marcus Wandt, the film connects the pioneering achievements of the past with humanity’s renewed ambitions for lunar exploration.

At the heart of Once Upon the Moon is a unique combination of historical archive material and real scientific data, brought together using OpenSpace, a visualization platform developed at Linköping University and Visualiseringscenter C. By reconstructing the lunar landscape from high-resolution satellite data and placing original photographs and film footage in their precise locations, the production creates an unprecedented sense of context, scale, and presence. The dome format surrounds audiences with these visualizations, transforming a familiar chapter of history into an immersive experience of discovery and exploration.
