First transmitted in 1998, this is the story of four men who orbited Earth on board the ill-fated Mir space station, which NASA declared unsafe in 1991. Although Mir had been lived in almost continuously since she was launched in 1986, the joint Russian-American mission in 1997 saw unprecedented problems on board the station; from fire, power blackouts and mechanical breakdowns to a dramatic midspace collision that left everyone on board scrambling for their lives.
Contributors include American astronauts Jerry Linenger and Michael Foale, Russian cosmonauts Vasily Tsibliyev and Sasha Lazutkin, and ground support staff such as Tamara Globa, one of Russia's foremost astrologers.
