The crew filmed two space shuttle launch scenes at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. The first was the daytime launch of the "Columbia" to test and determine the camera's viewing angle, shooting speed and other related settings. , The second time was the night launch of the "Atlantis", which was a particularly important real shot of the entire film. In order to present the spectacular night launch scene in the film, the crew used 15 cameras, 12 of which were placed in the safe area of the launch pad. The light changes drastically when the rocket is launched into the sky, and it may endanger the cost. Therefore, the photography and setting department made a special case for the camera and lowered the position of the camera to prevent the violent shock of the rocket launch from destroying the camera. In addition, in order to filter out the fuel exhaust gas, the film crew also made a special filter device for the camera lens.
