Biography[]
Elliot Goes Haywire[]
Space Observatory 3, a scanning satellite covering the South Pacific region, is out of action with an antenna fault. Technician Elliot suits up and goes outside to effect repairs, but his jet pack goes haywire, thrusting him away from the satellite. Too small to register on radar, Elliot has just three hours of oxygen left. Only International Rescue can save him.
Thunderbird 3 to the Rescue[]
Risking exposure, Jeff sends Scott and Alan in Thunderbird 3 to rescue Elliot. They soon get a bearing on the astronaut and recover him from space.
Trivia[]
