DISCOVERY CHANNEL TAKES YOU ON A JOURNEY THAT IS OUT OF THIS WORLD ON HOW DO THEY DO IT: SPACE
- One-hour special reveals how space exploration is made possible -

The vast unknown in the skies above has always held Man's curiosity. This thirst for knowledge and advances in technology have taken us from behind the telescope and propelled us into our final frontier. This month, Discovery Channel deconstructs space exploration and looks at what it takes to conduct a mission to outer space in HOW DO THEY DO IT: SPACE. From launching and maintaining the space shuttle to ensuring the welfare of the astronauts and collecting viable data, HOW DO THEY DO IT: SPACE puts the spotlight on NASA's space exploration programme to reveal how the biggest engineering project on the planet is made a reality.

How is a massive space shuttle assembled from scratch? How is it launched? How is a space station protected from deadly cosmic debris? How do astronauts eat and use the toilet in zero gravity without making a cosmic mess? How do they dress to impress for a space walk in upper earth orbit? The one-hour special HOW DO THEY DO IT: SPACE, answers these questions and more, going behind the scenes for an exclusive look at NASA's space exploration programme.

Meet the team of scientists and engineers that work on space missions, and witness how they tackle the problems of an engineering project of this scale, complexity and sensitivity. Be awed by the massive shuttle engines, the enormous hangars that house these shuttles and the vast launching grounds created for safe take-offs at NASA, as HOW DO THEY DO IT: SPACE takes you on a journey that is out of this world.
