He sacrificed himself for her survival and unclipped his strap, floating away to certain death. His additional mass stretched the parachute cords causing the two of them to nearly break free. At the last moment, Stone became entangled in the parachute cords connected to the ISS and was able to grab hold of the tether connected to Kowalski. As they both bounced off the ISS further, a solar wing that they passed severed the tether holding the two together. However, Kowalski's momentum yanked Stone away from the ISS. Stone was able to grab onto the ISS for a moment. They bounced off the many parts of the ISS as they attempted to grab on at their accelerated speed relative to the station. It became clear that the remaining Soyuz module could not return them to Earth safely.Īs they approached the ISS, they realized that they had almost no air left and only one thruster burst remaining in Kowalski's pack. The other Soyuz module was damaged and it's landing parachute was deployed as a result. One Soyuz module for delivering the ISS crew and returning them to Earth was missing, used by the ISS crew to evacuate the station. As they approached the ISS, it was clear that the ISS crew evacuated due to the debris field causing damage. En route to the ISS, the two discussed about Stone's life back home and the death of her young daughter in a schoolyard accident. Kowalski was ever calm and efficient in the crisis, continuing to reassure Stone that they would both make it back to Earth safely. Kowalski set the timer on his suit for 90 minutes, estimating the debris that destroyed the Explorer would orbit the Earth and come back around in that amount of time. They decided to use the thruster pack to make their way to the International Space Station which was nearby in orbit. The two tethered together and made their way back to the Explorer where they discovered that the shuttle was damaged beyond repair and the rest of their crew are dead from anoxia as a result of space exposure. Kowalski who was wearing a prototype thruster pack as part of his spacesuit navigated to Stone and retrieved her. Stone tumbled out of control after separating from the shuttle's cargo bay arm. Even though they did not receive messages from Mission Control, both Kowalski and Stone continued to transmit "in the blind" to Mission Control in the hopes that Mission Control could hear them. The debris continued to hit the 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, the debris from a satellite crashed into the space shuttle Explorer, destroying most of it and leaving them stranded in space with limited air. Ryan Stone was on her first space shuttle mission, accompanied by a veteran astronaut named Matt Kowalski who was commanding his final expedition.
