Mission Space

Mission Space - Neede, The Netherlands

Mission Space, the tallest mobile attraction in the world, is 80 meters high and offers riders an exhilarating experience complete with a perfect panoramic view of the city. The ride, brilliantly enhanced with Traxon’ s Dot XL RGB, debuted at the Rotterdam Easter Fair 2011 and was then moved to fairs in cities throughout Holland and other European countries. Mission Space represents maximum portability combined with clever construction techniques and the latest in LED technology. Installer KMG Operations responsable for the consulting and engineering of the project, chose Traxon Technologies to illuminate the attraction with Dot XL-6 RGB and Dot XL-9 RGB, guaranteeing an ultra-bright solution with its bold colors and video capability. Each Dot XL RGB system is mounted on a flexible string and is DMX512 or e:pix/DVI capable, enabling streaming graphics and video, or the replay of stored content. Dot XL’ s flexibility was able accommodate mounting on Mission Space’ s rotating arm, a feature that would typically challenge mounting and cabling capabilities of other less flexible lighting solutions. Additionally, Dot XL is durable and suitable for many environments. The project consists of 28 DMX512 universes, and is controlled by 14 e:cue Butlers and one Lighting Control Engine (LCE). With the help of IBG's programming, patching and design of different wiring diagrams, this attraction is the highlight of each fair.
