escape pod
Spacecraft evacuation vehicle
An escape pod is a small, self-contained capsule designed to evacuate personnel from a spacecraft, space station, or large vessel in an emergency.
The concept comes from science fiction but has practical analogues in aircraft ejection seats and lifeboat systems.
The crew jettisoned in escape pods before the ship exploded.
