Christie announced that its cinema projectors were used by Galaxy Theatres in Gig Harbor, Washington to beam down live images of NASA astronauts onboard the International Space Station as they answered questions from students at the multiplex.

In addition, the agreement allows exhibitors to own and control their equipment (which is required to be DCI/SMPTE compliant), and to switch to an integrator- supported agreement at a later date if desired.
