space pod
Small spacecraft compartment
A space pod is a small, self-contained spacecraft designed for short-range travel or emergency escape—typically holding one to a few passengers.
The term appears mainly in science fiction: The astronaut jettisoned in an escape pod before the ship exploded.
Real spacecraft sometimes have similar emergency modules, though "escape capsule" is more common in technical contexts.
