‘NOVA’ presents ‘Operation Space Station: High Risk Build, part 1’

Wednesday, November 5 at 8 p.m.

Explore an unprecedented feat of engineering: The construction of the International Space Station, a habitable space lab hurtling around Earth at 17,000 mph.

This ambitious project unfolds every step of the way and against the backdrop of a merciless vacuum, dangerous radiation and extreme temperatures. Astronauts confront life-threatening malfunctions, including a toxic ammonia leak during a critical spacewalk. But with a combination of quick thinking and nerves of steel help, the crew survive and thrive in a hostile environment.

Their mission is a true testament to the international collaboration and the relentless pursuit of scientific discovery.
