AKA: Emergency Earth Orbital Escape Device. Status: Study 1966. Gross mass: 1,240 kg (2,730 lb). Height: 3.70 m (12.10 ft). Span: 2.90 m (9.50 ft).

Unlike other concepts, it was equipped with a wide 1 m diameter hatch and provided a pressurized shirt-sleeve environment for the three crew. New lightweight heat shield technologies would, it was claimed, make possible a total mass for three crew less than that of the original one-crew Mercury capsule. Mass per crew: 413 kg.

Crew Size: 3.
