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

s

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.
