Bio
Peresild was selected from a civilian casting and medical-screening process connected to the Russian film project. She trained for Soyuz flight, station safety, and the practical constraints of filming in orbit.
Soyuz MS-19 launched in October 2021 with Anton Shkaplerov, Klim Shipenko, and Peresild. On the ISS, the film crew shot material for The Challenge before returning on Soyuz MS-18 with Oleg Novitsky.
Her mission is notable because it placed a professional actor in orbit for a feature-film production. The flight belongs in the archive as one short-duration visiting spaceflight with different launch and landing Soyuz vehicles.
