Despite the objections of Hermes flight director Mitch Henderson, Sanders decides not to inform the Ares III crew, believing it would distract them. NASA administrator Teddy Sanders has public relations director Annie Montrose and mission director Vincent Kapoor release the news. While reviewing satellite photos of Mars, satellite planner Mindy Park sees evidence of Watney's activities and realises he has survived. He also begins to modify the only functional rover for longer journeys in preparation for the long distance travel.īack on Earth, NASA holds a funeral for him. Watney, being a botanist, improvises a farm inside the Hab, utilizing Martian soil fertilized with human waste, water produced by extracting hydrogen from leftover rocket fuel, and potatoes intended for Thanksgiving dinner. His immediate concern is there will not be enough food to survive that long. He begins a video log and realizes that his only chance of rescue is to rendezvous with the Ares IV crew at the Schiaparelli crater, 3,200 kilometres (2,000 mi) away in four years. He removes the piece of antenna which destroyed his suit's bio-monitor and lodged in his torso by performing self-surgery.
Watney awakens after the storm to a low oxygen warning and makes his way to the Hab (short for "habitat"), the crew's base of operations. With Watney believed dead, and the storm worsening by the second, mission commander Melissa Lewis orders the crew to take off and return to their orbiting vessel, Hermes. During the evacuation, astronaut Mark Watney is struck by debris and lost in the storm the last telemetry from his suit indicates no signs of life. A strong dust storm threatens to topple their Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV), forcing them to abort their mission. In 2035, the crew of the Ares III mission to Mars is exploring Acidalia Planitia on Martian solar day (sol) 18 of their 31-sol expedition. The film depicts his struggle to survive and others' efforts to rescue him. Matt Damon stars as astronaut, Mark Watney, who is mistakenly presumed dead and left behind on Mars.
