THE SCRAP LAUNCH
An International Space Station Survival Thriller
The International Space Station is dying.
A Kessler Syndrome cascade has triggered a chain reaction of collisions in low Earth orbit. In six days, the debris field will become unsurvivable. Six astronauts are trapped. No rescue is coming.
Their only hope is a half-finished Crew Return Vehicle-a prototype that was never meant to fly. They have no heat shield. No parachutes. No guidance computer. No fuel.
Their only materials are the corpses of dead satellites. Their only tools are their hands and their desperation. Their only chance is to build a ship from garbage and fly it through hell.
Perfect for fans of:
- The Martian by Andy Weir
- Seveneves by Neal Stephenson
- Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
THE SCRAP LAUNCH is a hard science fiction thriller about survival against impossible odds. Every orbital calculation, every thermal protection system, every parachute deployment sequence is rooted in real science and engineering.
