Stratosphere.Ravess is commanding a battle station in previously unreachable stratosphere, from which a satellite weapon, the Exopod, will be launched into the exosphere. The Condor is modified to reach the stratosphere, and after defeating Ravess the Storm Hawks modify Aerrow's skimmer for space travel. Aerrow and Radarr are launched into the exosphere after the Exopod, but a miscalculation with the trajectory forces Aerrow to send Radarr off alone to deal with the Exopod while he orbits the planet to reach Radarr once again. Radarr manages to knock the Exopod out of orbit, destroying Ravess' carrier in the process as she tries to fire on the Condor. Aerrow manages to make has way back and recover Radarr, and they are safely recovered by the team after reentry.
