[ Synopsis ]

Ride along with the probes, orbiters and landers that showed us the solar system.

Every close-up we have of another world was taken by a robot. Touch the Stars tells their story, from the spacecraft that studied the Sun and landed on planets and moons to Voyager's grand tour of the outer planets and beyond.

Made with the cooperation of NASA and Lockheed Martin, the show combines real mission imagery and science data with three-dimensional flights alongside these spacecraft.
