She attempts to fire the main Soyuz rocket to navigate to the Chinese station however, the fuel tanks are empty. Stone goes over the emergency manual, and uses the thrusters to line the Soyuz up with the Chinese station. Stone barely makes it inside the Soyuz and escapes, just as the debris field impacts and destroys the ISS. During the spacewalk, the satellite debris has orbited the Earth, impacting with the ISS and the Soyuz. Stone puts on one of the Soyuz spacesuits and spacewalks outside to release the parachute cables from the capsule. Once aboard, Stone tries to thruster away from the ISS, but the parachute cables are tangled and keeping the Soyuz from getting free. She tries vainly to put out the fire, and finally gets aboard the Soyuz. Stone makes her way to the Soyuz module, but a fire starts from sparking wires aboard the ISS. Stone boards the ISS, which has been damaged but still has breathable air. Kowalski then disconnects his tether from Stone, sacrificing himself so Stone can get aboard the ISS safely. Kowalski says that even if the Chinese have evacuated, she can use a return module that is based on the design of the Soyuz, and Stone’s limited training will get her home safely. Kowalski asks Stone about her minimal piloting training, and instructs Stone to use the Soyuz capsule to travel to a nearby Chinese space station.
He fires the thruster, and Stone is able to grab onto the ISS however, Kowalski’s momentum pulls Stone away from the ISS, causing her to lose her grip.
It becomes clear that the remaining Soyuz module cannot return them to Earth safely.Īs they approach the ISS they realize they have almost no air left and only one thruster burst remaining in Kowalski’s pack. The other Soyuz module has been damaged, and its landing parachute has been deployed as a result. One Soyuz module for delivering ISS crew and returning them to Earth is missing, used by the ISS crew to evacuate the station. As they approach the ISS, it is clear that the ISS crew has evacuated due to the debris field causing damage. En route to the ISS, the two discuss Stone’s life back home and the death of her young daughter in a schoolyard accident. Kowalski is ever calm and efficient in the crisis, continuing to reassure Stone that they will both make it back to Earth safely.
Kowalski sets the timer on his suit for 90 minutes, estimating the debris that destroyed Explorer will orbit the Earth and come back around in that amount of time. They then decide to use the thruster pack to make their way to the ISS, which is nearby in orbit. The two tether together, and make their way back to Explorer, where they discover the shuttle has been damaged beyond repair, and the rest of their crew are dead. Kowalski, who is wearing a thruster pack as part of his spacesuit navigates to Stone and retrieves her. Stone tumbles out of control after separating from the shuttle’s cargo bay arm. Nevertheless, both Kowalski and Stone continue to transmit “in the blind” to Mission Control, in the hopes that Mission Control can hear them, regardless of whether or not they receive messages from Mission Control. The debris continues to hit other satellites, causing a chain reaction of destruction until the satellites necessary for the two astronauts to communicate with Mission Control in Houston are also destroyed. During a spacewalk, debris from a satellite crashes into the space shuttle Explorer, destroying most of it and leaving them stranded in space with limited air. Ryan Stone is on her first space shuttle mission, accompanied by veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski, who is commanding his final expedition.
