A crewman on a tether uses a Manned Maneuvering Unit to reach Watney aboard the MAV and carry him back to Hermes. Lewis develops a plan to intercept the MAV by firing Hermes' attitude thrusters, then slowing down to match the MAV's velocity by blowing a hole in the Hermes front airlock with an improvised sugar-and-liquid-oxygen oxyliquit bomb.

During launch, the canvas patch tears, slowing the liftoff and leaving the MAV on a course too far from the Hermes for Watney to be rescued. The modifications leave a large hole in the front of the MAV, which Watney covers with Hab canvas. Watney reaches the MAV and receives instructions on the radical modifications to the MAV that are necessary to reduce its weight and intercept Hermes during its flyby. The resupply probe launches and docks with Hermes. Watney resumes modifying the rover, since the new rescue plan requires him to drive to Ares 4's scheduled landing site and lift off from Mars in that mission's Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV), which has already made an unmanned landing as part of the long preparations for that visit. All five of Watney's crewmates agree to the plan, and once they begin the maneuver, NASA is compelled to send them the supply ship to save their lives. Sanders vetoes the "Rich Purnell Maneuver" as involving too much risk for the other crewmembers, but Mitch secretly emails the maneuver to Hermes. Meanwhile, an astrodynamicist named Rich Purnell has discovered a slingshot trajectory that could get Hermes and the Ares 3 crew back to Mars on a much-extended mission to save Watney, using the Chinese rocket to send a resupply probe to Hermes as it passes Earth. A deal with the China National Space Administration provides a ready booster to try again, but with no time to build a probe with a soft-landing system, NASA is faced with the unlikely prospect of building one whose cargo will survive crashing into the Martian surface at 300 metres per second. NASA hastily prepares an unmanned probe to send Watney supplies, but the probe's rocket disintegrates on liftoff. Watney survives and repairs the Hab, but his plants are dead, threatening him again with starvation. Mitch Henderson, the Ares 3 flight director, convinces NASA Administrator Teddy Sanders to allow him to inform the Ares 3 crew of Watney's survival his crewmates are thrilled, except for Melissa Lewis (Jessica Chastain), the commander, who is guilt-stricken at leaving him behind.Īs Watney's second potato harvest approaches, a tear in the canvas at one of the Hab airlocks breaches, collapsing the Hab and cannoning Watney away from it, breaking his suit visor. He makes a long test drive to recover the unmanned Pathfinder lander and Sojourner rover and brings them back with him to the Hab, allowing him to contact Earth. He begins modifying one of Ares 3's rovers for the journey, adding solar cells and an additional battery. Watney plans to drive 3,200 kilometres to Schiaparelli crater when a subsequent mission, Ares 4, lands there in four years. They contemplate on rescuing him, but withhold the news of his survival from the rest of the Ares 3 crew, on their way back to Earth aboard the Hermes spacecraft so as not to distract them. He starts documenting his experiences.īack on earth, NASA discovers that Watney is alive when satellite images of the landing site show evidence of his activities. With no way to contact Earth, Watney must rely on his scientific and technical skills to survive, growing potatoes in the crew's Martian habitat (or Hab) and burning hydrazine to make water. Also due to to zero visibility, the crew presumes that Warney is dead. Watney is impaled by an antenna and swept away. NASA astronaut/ botanist Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is left stranded on Mars when the crew of the Ares 3 mission are forced to evacuate their landing site in Acidalia Planiria on sol 18 (Martian day) of their expedition due to an intense dust storm with high winds.
