SpaceVR, a new startup, has signed a deal for the world's first satellite equipped with a camera capable of shooting video at 360 degrees to reach space.
The vehicle, called Overview 1 will be placed aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket next summer, says Go4It.
The ship will carry the satellite into the International Space Station, where it will be placed later on a low Earth orbit by NanoRacks LLC, the company that operates commercially module aboard the station.
Content to be recorded by the camera on Overview 1 can be seen through a VR headset.
SpaceVR wants to do, ultimately, a permanent live broadcast from space via satellite.
Customers will have to pay subscription to access the stream.
