The movie includes scenes from numerous shuttle missions, beginning with footage of a de-orbiting space shuttle on its approach to Cape Canaveral, complete with sonic boom.

Mission STS-41-C, the 11th for the shuttle program and the fifth for Challenger is featured most heavily, beginning with the deployment of the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) satellite. The capture and repair of the Solar Max satellite also receives a great deal of coverage, including a detailed overview of training for the mission in a large pool at NASA.
