Apogee

In the year 2043, a private research coalition known as ORION funds an ambition mission aboard the ISS—an experiment in closed loop life support and the future of long term space habitation.


Then, the unthinkable happens, a catastrophic cascade of orbital debris severs communications, the international crew aboard the ISS finds themselves stranded—cut off, drifting, and forced to watch as the world ends below.


With just 15 months before orbital decay brings them back to a dead planet, trust begins to crack, secrets surface, and the real purpose of the mission becomes impossible to ignore.


It was never about saving the world. It was about what comes after.


Apogee is a sci-fi audio drama about isolation, survival, and the weight of knowing you were never meant to go home.
