Ep. 3: Irina overcomes her fear of heights during training while a rocket explosion causes political turmoil.

During a meeting with Zirnitra leader Gegriev, Korovin confirms the N Project proceeds as planned. Government ministers demand Irina's immediate execution after her test flight, but Gegriev privately opposes wasting valuable manpower despite public ambivalence. Irina struggles with a fear of heights that hinders her parachute training. To help her, Lev takes her on a plane flight, which inspires her and alleviates her fears. Concurrently, an ICBM test at Zirnitra's rocket launch facility in Albinar explodes, killing 500 people. Although the incident is covered up, government turmoil arises from sabotage suspicions. Irina eventually advances to more difficult parachute exercises. As training continues, Lev questions her motivation for enduring such harsh conditions to be a test subject. Irina resolves to succeed regardless of the cost, even if it means losing her life.
