High Tech in Space

Though invisible to the human eye, satellites play a huge role in our daily lives.

In this documentary, we will uncover the secrets of hidden data transmission while following the construction, transportation and activation of a satellite in outer space from a factory hall in the South of France into the cosmos. From the tiniest screw to the overall weight - every little detail has to be thoroughly and repeatedly checked - because in space there is no room for mistakes. We take you on a journey behind the scenes of the non visible data transfer of television and internet .
