The stories, some of which have never been told on-screen before, include the experiences of engineers who were challenged to create the world\u2019s first reusable space vehicle, the\u00a0Space Shuttle; the story of the engineers who paved the way for the most complex structure ever built in space, the International Space Station; and the inside story of the\u00a0Hubble Space Telescope. Each episode features archive footage and reconstruction, as well as interviews with astronauts and engineers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArrow has an extraordinary expertise in aviation and space, and they know how to capture the marvel in technology and the drama in moments of discovery,\u201d says David Royle, the executive VP of programming and production at Smithsonian Channel. \u201cIn <em>America\u2019s Secret Space Heroes<\/em>, they reveal the\u00a0inside story of the geniuses who imagined and created the space program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ash Potterton, executive producer at Arrow Media, added, \u201cUnearthing incredible stories is in our DNA, and <em>America\u2019s Secret Space Heroes<\/em> is a testament to this. As we embark on a bold new era of space exploration, it is important to shine a light on those who went before us and enabled humanity\u2019s first tentative steps to the stars. By showcasing some of the most iconic stories and projects in space engineering history, we hope that viewers will be both fascinated and inspired.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>America\u2019s Secret Space Heroes<\/em><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>was commissioned by Chris Hoelzl and Royle at Smithsonian Channel.
