A Russian actor and a film director rocketed to space Tuesday on a mission to make the world's first movie in orbit, a project the Kremlin said will help burnish the nation's space glory.

Actor Yulia Peresild and director Klim Shipenko blasted off for the International Space Station in a Russian Soyuz spacecraft together with cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, a veteran of three space missions. Their Soyuz MS-19 lifted off as scheduled at 1:55 p.m. from the Russian space launch facility in Baikonur, Kazakhstan and arrived at the station after about 3 1/2 hours.

Shipenko, 38, who has made several commercially successful movies, also described their fast-track, four-month preparation for the flight as tough. "I'm in shock. I still can't imagine that my mom is out there," Peresild's daughter, Anna, said in televised remarks minutes after the launch that she watched teary-eyed.

"We describe some real emergencies that may happen out there," he said. According to the script, the cosmonaut character in the film needs an urgent surgery after being hit by space debris. "I feel like I'm dreaming," Peresild said during a brief televised hookup with Mission Control in Moscow.
