The artist’s location of choice was the International Space Station (ISS), thanks to the European Space Agency (ESA). The Space2 Mosaic took off on July 29th 2014, aboard the European spaceship ATV-5. Once on the ISS, The Space2 Mosaic waited several months in zero gravity for the astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti to reach the station and find its permanent spot.

On March 12th, 2015, it was reported that the mission had been successfully completed and installed on the European module Columbus. The success of this mission was a major milestone in Invader’s history and marked a significant advancement in his mission.
“I would have never imagined that my Space Invaders project might take me that high.
What looked like an unreachable dream has come true as Space2 is the first space invader ever installed on a spaceship among real astronauts living in zero gravity and with Earth and the universe as a background ! Art, Science, space conquest : a great move !” Invader
