Zeus V

The Zeus V was a spaceship launched in by International Space Command in December 1986, on a rescue mission for the Zeus IV. Its mode of re-entry was splashdown.

Its sole occupant was Terry Cutler, who volunteered for the mission. Its mission was a failure as the Zeus IV was destroyed shortly after the Zeus V was launched. Cutler had to wait in orbit until the Cybermen crisis on Earth was over and contact with the Zeus V was re-established. He was the son of General Cutler, the commanding officer of the Snowcap base in Antarctica. (TV: The Tenth Planet)
