PLANET 51 HITCHES A RIDE ABOARD THE SPACE SHUTTLE

Shaw Organisation is proud to confirm the "Solar System Premier" of the animated comedy, PLANET 51 which will be released on 10 December 2009 is currently orbiting the planet on the International Space Station! The film was launched into space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery on August 28, 2009 and was transferred to the space station by the astronauts a few days later. The film is now cruising high above Earth at 17,500 miles per hour and orbiting the planet every 90 minutes, which is the exact running time of the movie, so it will make a full Earth orbit as the movie premieres on the ground.
