Description
In 2003, seven astronauts are killed instantly when their space shuttle, Columbia, disintegrates on re-entry into the earth’s atmosphere.
The NASA shuttle program is grounded with immediate effect.
On the International Space Station, three men - two astronauts and a cosmonaut - had not just lost seven colleagues, they'd also lost their ride home.
With no other option, a daring mission is launched that involved a much smaller Russian built shuttle based on a design from the 1960s.
If the men aren’t brought home soon, not only will their lives be at risk but also the entire future of the International Space Station itself.
