Streaming from space was a joint initiative of the Russian state corporation Roscosmos and Wargaming.
The stream dedicated to Cosmonautics Day was to be broadcasted in High-Definition, worldwide. As Wargaming already had a positive experience of the streaming technology provided by Gcore, as a trusted vendor, Gcore was utilized as the main infrastructure partner for this unique project.

As you can appreciate, the dates including April 12 to 15, 2019, was the first time Gcore was tasked to arrange a broadcast from space!
Together, the Media Platform and CDN, brought together World of Tanks players and cosmonauts of the International Space Station.
The games began with live greetings from orbit from Alexey Ovchinin and Oleg Kononenko, members of the ISS crew. Another cosmonaut, Oleg Artemyev, a hero in Russia, held an interactive online quiz for tank lovers, with trivia devoted to space and space technologies and prizes awarded for erudite viewers.
Festive trivia dedicated to Cosmonautics Day was broadcasted on a specific resource, WG Watch.
A recording of the live broadcast with the ISS can be viewed on YouTube:
