Friends in Space

Friends in Space

Friends in Space was the first social network to extend beyond Earth; a six-month long open window to make new friends from all over the world and join astronaut
Samantha Cristoforetti in her expedition to the International Space Station.

Friends in Space, which was online from November 24th, 2014 to June 11th, 2015, was conceived, designed, and developed at Accurat .

On my Medium post about the project, I explained how Friends in Space was a proof of concept to investigate how digital connections between people can be aesthetically pleasing and leave room for wonder, poetry, and imagination: an exploration of the power of a beautiful interactive experience to encourage people to use and be part of a digital application.
