Synopsis

The first mission to Mars has landed, only to find out, it has lost all
communication with ground control and Earth.

Someone or something, has destroyed two satellites in low Earth orbit,
and the astronauts in the International Space Station have to make an emergency
maneuver to try to protect themselves from the rapidly expanding debris
fields that could destroy the station and kill everyone onboard. In what is called the Kessler Effect,
satellites are being destroyed due to the cascading effect of debris from continuous ongoing debris strikes
compounded by the existing space junk. The Kessler Effect is disrupting
all space related communications.

As a result, life on Earth is effectively returned to the 1800’s. No phone
service, no power, no gasoline, no GPS, no transportation, no food and
no municipal water. Riots soon break out, the National Guard is sent out
to preserve order. People are dying. No one knows who is to blame for
the growing chaos. NASA cannot communicate with any of the
astronauts on the ISS or on Mars. The astronauts are left to fend for
themselves.

Things are looking very grim for the people of Earth, the astronauts on
the ISS and the astronauts on Mars. Can they survive and if so how?
Mars Mission I : Surviving the Kessler Effect is a thrilling fictional story of
what could happen when enough debris is created in low earth orbit to initiate the Kessler Effect.
