escape pods
Spacecraft survival vessels
Escape pods are small emergency vehicles designed to carry passengers away from a larger vessel in distress—typically spacecraft in science fiction, though the concept extends to submarines and other craft.
The pod usually holds just a few people and has minimal navigation capability, meant only to get survivors clear of danger until rescue arrives.
The crew jettisoned in escape pods before the ship exploded.
