The Discovery is in a decaying orbit around Jupiter's moon, Io. In a joint operation with the USSR, you have been flown to Jupiter aboard the Leonov, where you must board the Discovery, take all necessary steps to restart the ship and return her safely to Earth. Under no circumstances must you communicate with Soviet personnel or permit any Soviet personnel to board the Discovery.
