The storyline is this: after your rocket took off from the launchpad, your autopilot malfunctioned and set your course to the wrong orbit around the Earth. Moreover, due to further computer failures half of the ship blew up in orbit, including modules with fuel and landing gear. All that is left is your capsule and some propulsion capabilities.
The same thing happened to another rocket with probe, launched the same day as you were. And probe's accident was no less heavy - everything exploded, probe's ship lost entire propulsion modules and now helplessly hanging in orbit. Though probe still have landing equipment, which you may use (or may not). But probe's ship took correct orbit, unlike you did.
Tech people on Earth discovered the reason - it was new computer virus. The virus still affects other systems, thus they can't launch any rescue mission from Earth. You are on your own now.
Your mission is to save yourself and land to Earth safely with what you have in space. You can't wait until they fix their computers and launch rescue mission - you have limited amount of oxygen. Thus, no more launches from Earth. Use any way of landing you can invent with what you have.
Below is archive file attached with quicksave and entire world folder. Just unpack archive to game folder and start this world. There is only one quicksave in it - from this quicksave mission begins.
Also you can create new world and add quicksave folder to it, or add quicksave to existing world. But the world must be default stock game world and at Realistic level of difficulty, since quicksave is made in Realistic level world.
I also made a copy of this mission for Normal level of game difficulty, in standard stock game world, here it is.
