Over

view

What we expect to discover

is how to create a space capsule that can support life in case of an emergency. The reason for this mission

is because space is a dangerous place. There are

many times where unpredictable situations arise, and it is in times like

these that there needs to

be some sort of escape pod.

Refe

renc

es

In June of 2011 the crew of the ISS had to abandon the station for safety as some space debris passed by. It is in these situations that space capsules could be useful. If the station was destroyed and the escape pods malfunctioned, the crew

would need a quick and cheap alternative.
