KENT, WA – Indian TV show producer Banijay Asia has tied up with Space Exploration and Research Agency (SERA) for a reality show to send an Indian into space on a future Blue Origin craft.

SERA’s spaceflight program will offer citizens from across the world six seats on a future mission of New Shepard, Blue Origin’s reusable suborbital rocket.

The mission will fly the selected astronauts on an 11-minute journey past the Karman line, the internationally recognized boundary of space.

SERA has already announced India as a partner nation for their human spaceflight program.

“It’s a privilege to document this journey of an ordinary Indian space traveler and show how this program will not only transform their life but also democratize space travel more broadly,” Deepak Dhar, Founder and Group CEO, Banijay Asia and Endemol Shine India said in a press release.

The format will capture the drama, disappointment, and joy as the shortlisted individuals participate in various challenges that test their mettle and readiness for space travel.

It said the show will culminate in the selection of the final winner who will have the opportunity to travel into space.
