According to The U.K.'s Mail Online, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne were allowed to use NASA's airfields, training equipment and facilities during the secret filming on Thursday, August 6.
The site additionally reported that the upcoming music video reunited One Direction with director Ben Winston, whom the dudes previously collaborated with for the "Best Song Ever" and "Story Of My Life" visuals.
"Drag Me Down" was unexpectedly released last week as the first offering from One Direction's upcoming fifth studio album. The Zayn Malik-approved track went on to shatter iTunes and Spotify records before making its debut at No. 1 on this week's singles chart in their home country.
"Thank you for all the support for Drag Me Down. Couldn't be happier to find out its number one in the UK. Glad people like it. All the love," Styles then thanked Directioners on Twitter. Horan added, "#1 thank you so much ! Really means a lot to us ... Insane reaction to this song! Much appreciated."
