When a retired engineer is called upon to rescue a failing satellite, he inists that his equally old teammates accompany him into space.
When a Russian satellite orbiting the Earth starts to veer off coure. It seems like the guidance system in the satellite is of American origin. It's important to try and fix it before it comes into the atmosphere. The NASA man, Bob Geron tries to find out who designed it and discover that it was designed by Frank Colvin, an Air Force pilot who 40 year ago was part of the team who was originally suppose to go to space but when NASA was formed and Geron's influence they were dropped. Geron asks Frank to help but Frank still holds a grudge. But after some prodding he agrees but only if he and his team can go there so he can fix it. Geron reluctantly agrees so Frank recruits his former team member, Tank Sullica, Jerry O'Neill and Hawk Hawkin to join him. After some strenuous tests, they're cleared. And they go up with two other astronauts and check out the satellite and discover that they weren't told the whole truth.
