    "Marooned" was about a rescue mission to bring back astronauts who were stuck in orbit. The rescue ship was launched as the eye of a hurricane passes overhead. Could that be it?

    This is exactly it. I remember it as a pretty good movie, but have not heard much about it since I first saw it (in Israel, where it did pretty well when it first came out). Netflix does not have it online,but it's available on Amazon prime.

    Thanks for the answer.

    You're welcome! By the way - the movie came out in 1969 (not 70s-80s).

    Yes, I know it now. It was a guess until your answer. The plan is to watch it tonight.
    (I am currently immersed in S-F movies, am taking a course in sci-fi cinema and society.)
