IMAX cameras have flown in space on 17 occasions, [[NASA]] astronauts have used handheld IMAX cameras to document missions, and an IMAX camera has also been mounted in the payload bay of the Shuttle. Space shuttle mission [[STS-41-C]] filmed the deployment of the [[Long Duration Exposure Facility|LDEF]] (Long duration exposure facility) and the repair of the [[Solar Maximum Mission|Solar Max]] satellite. This footage was included in the 1985 IMAX movie ''[[The Dream Is Alive]]''. Kennedy Space Center in Florida has two IMAX 3D theaters. These show space movies, including footage shot on missions and narrated by celebrities.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kennedyspacecenter.com/explore-attractions/nasa-now/imax-3d-theater|title=IMAX 3D Theater {{!}} Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex|website=Kennedyspacecenter.com|language=en|access-date=2017-04-18}}</ref> Two of the IMAX cameras used by NASA are now on display at the [[National Air and Space Museum]] in [[Washington, D.C.|Washington DC]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/the-space-shuttles-imax-cameras-touch-down-at-air-and-space-64290287/|title=The Space Shuttle's IMAX Cameras Touch Down at Air and Space|last=Stromberg|first=Joseph|work=Smithsonian|access-date=2017-04-18|language=en}}</ref>
