The Space Pod is a space travel and repair vehicle. Thunderbird 5’s Space Pod is similar to the other POD vehicles, with the one exception being that it is rotated so John is standing instead of sitting. The Space Pod has two propulsion thrusters on the back, two direction thrusters on the sides, two extendable robotic arms on the sides, and a docking hatch on the top. The Space Pod is kept under the airlock at the end of Thunderbird 5’s cargo bay.
Launch Sequence[]
To launch the Space Pod, John asks EOS to ready the Space Pod for launch, and makes his way to the airlock. While John is doing this, the solar panel arm is raised out of the way and the Space Pod is moved from under the airlock, the access hatch. John then gets into the Space Pod, and closes the access hatches of Thunderbird 5 and the POD. John then launches the Space Pod away from the space station and towards the rescue situation.
