Since it's inception in 1977, WonderWorks inc.™ has created, rented and sold accurate replicas of the Space Shuttle as well as fantasy science fiction space craft for TV and film.   Many  of our replica rentals use real space flight hardware modified to be user friendly for production companies.   As such, expensive Set Technicians or special equipment are not needed on location during filming.   Please read our detailed and informative Space Shuttle Rental FAQ by clicking here.

 

Every major space film in the past 40 plus years, which has featured the Space Shuttle, has done so using our replicas.   A UK reality show, "Space Cadets - Episode 1 of 6", had contestants believe for five full days that they were in space and in the real Space Shuttle.  Rarely have film sets and props had to perform for so long without a problem.  No one can top that caliber of realism and functionality!   See it here at Space Cadets - WonderWorks    We DISCOUNT our Space Suit rentals when used with our sets.  We have created a Space Capsule of our own design with an interior similar to CEV, Orion, SpaceX Dragon, etc. which are real space ship/craft being developed as a replacement for the Space Shuttle.    We have also created a second ISS (International Space Station) with Exterior, a State-Of-The-Art high-end Shuttle Cockpit and ISS Cupola with more detail and functionality than ever that are now available for rent.
