action

The Soviet spaceship Rodina ( Родина , Russian for home ) and the American spaceship Typhoon land on a space station orbiting the earth . Both ships are scheduled for a trip to Mars . The American astronauts Clark and Werst reject the proposal of the Soviet cosmonauts to undertake the Mars expedition together for reasons of prestige. In addition, the Americans disregard a meteorite warning from the Soviets.

The Typhoon takes off and is soon out of sight of the space station. When the Rodina finally takes off towards Mars, there is no longer any contact with the Typhoon . The space flight is routine. Suddenly the Rodina receives weak distress signals from the Typhoon . She got caught in the meteor storm and threatens to plunge into the sun .

The crew of the Rodina succeeds in rescuing the Americans, but the fuel is no longer sufficient to reach Mars, so that the spaceship has to make an emergency landing on the asteroid Icarus . A propellant rocket will be deployed from Earth so that space travelers can return to Earth.
