Hunting for a Lost Russian Satellite in Canada

This documentary follows two eccentric nuclear scientists trekking the wilderness of northern Canada to recover Kosmos-954, a nuclear-powered Soviet spy satellite that crashed into the tundra. Their search across unforgiving terrain blends Cold War intrigue with scientific detective work. The story of hunting radioactive debris in the wild is as tense as it is strange. It is a gripping watch about space, secrecy, and one of the era's most dangerous cleanup missions. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
