How MeetMo revolutionized NASA's Artemis launch broadcast.

Space exploration has always been about pushing boundaries and embracing innovation. When NASA faced unprecedented challenges during the Artemis launch, MeetMo stepped in with cutting-edge virtual production technology that not only saved the historic broadcast but revolutionized how space missions can be shared with the world.

The only constant is delay.

The path to launching a rocket to the moon is never straightforward. The Artemis launch faced two hurricanes and a mechanical failure. With each delay, NASA grappled with mounting costs from repeatedly flying in and housing the broadcast crew. The situation became so critical that NASA nearly had to scrub the production entirely.

Virtual production: The game-changer.

This is where MeetMo's innovative solution proved transformative. By virtualizing the production process and remotely controlling the cameras, we dramatically reduced costs, giving NASA one final opportunity to broadcast this momentous event. Our partnership with Felix and Paul Studios demonstrated how modern technology could overcome traditional broadcasting limitations to produce spectacular results.

Breaking new ground with 8K innovation.

Perhaps the most exciting achievement was facilitating NASA's first-ever 8K livestream, powered by MeetMo's metaverse-capable MoLink Media Encoder. Our platform, combined with our proprietary Edge Compute server, created a collaborative broadcast environment that connected teams across the globe: Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, Orlando, Las Vegas, Columbia, Montreal, Tokyo, and New Delhi.

The power of remote collaboration.

With 70% of the team working remotely, we proved that high-quality broadcasting doesn't require everyone to be on-site. This approach delivered multiple benefits for NASA:

Resource efficiency.

• Eliminated the need for large on-site crews
• Reduced transportation and accommodation expenses
• Saved approximately $1 million in production costs
• Minimized the financial impact of launch delays

Enhanced flexibility.

• Simplified rescheduling process
• Streamlined security protocols
• Enabled rapid adaptation to changing conditions
• Supported seamless integration of traditional NASA video feeds

Expanded reach.

• Broadcast to millions of viewers across multiple platforms
• Supported diverse viewing formats including:
  • Television broadcasts
  • Mobile devices
  • VR headsets
  • Large-format immersive domed theaters
• Increased viewership by 14% through expanded format options

A new era of space broadcasting.

The success of this project wasn't just about cost savings – it was about reimagining how great achievements can be shared with humanity. By enabling real-time collaboration across continents and delivering immersive 8K quality, MeetMo helped NASA share the wonder of space exploration and inspire audiences in ways previously unimaginable.

This collaboration proved that virtual production isn't just the future of broadcasting – it's the present. As we continue to push the boundaries of space exploration, MeetMo remains committed to developing innovative solutions that make these historic moments accessible to everyone, everywhere.

The Artemis launch broadcast marked a significant milestone in both space exploration and broadcasting technology. We're honored to have partnered with NASA once again, helping them share this historic achievement with the world while setting new standards for virtual production in live event coverage.
