A transport ship taking a family of colonists to Mars is hit by a proton storm, disabling the vessel’s systems and sending it wildly off course. <I>International Rescue</I> despatches Kayo to enlist the aid of their friend Captain Taylor, who is enjoying his retirement by climbing mountains. With his experience as both a moonbase commander and the second man on Mars (the first being Jeff Tracy), Taylor agrees to help, and soon he is flying through space in <I>Thunderbird 3</I> with Alan and Scott. Thanks to the spacecraft’s powerful ion engines, it isn’t long before they pass Mars; they quickly locate the transport ship <I>Helios</I>, as it heads towards the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Alan brings <I>Thunderbird 3</I> alongside the transport ship and locks on with a grappling arm, allowing Captain Taylor to grapple across and get aboard, while Scott goes EVA in a modified Pod Explorer, using Brains’ new portable defence module to destroy any approaching asteroids. Inside the <I>Helios</I>, Captain Taylor meets the crew and then joins their commander, Doctor Travers, on the bridge; to her dismay he starts reconfiguring the power feed coils, but then explains that the proton storm merely put the <I>Helios</I>’ systems on hold, and by reconfiguring them he can regain control of the vessel. Meanwhile, a bored Alan detaches <I>Thunderbird 3</I> and repositions it at the front of the <I>Helios</I>, using his spaceship’s engines to steer the colony ship safely through the asteroid field. All goes well, until a giant rock looms into their path, which they can’t go around or blow up. Aboard the <I>Helios</I>, Captain Taylor reactivates the ship’s systems and turns it away from the huge asteroid; but it is too late – the asteroid grazes the <I>Helios</I>, scraping off its landing pods and sending it spinning out of control…
