How to use "Space capsule" in context?
Space capsules are devices used to transport astronauts and related payloads into and around the Earth's orbit or beyond. The first human-rated space capsules were developed in the early 1960s, as part of the Space Race between the Soviet Union and the United States. Early designs were based on the Vostok space capsules, which employed a three-section metallic orbital module to provide a spacewalk capability and a re-entry vehicle to land the astronauts on Earth. These designs were not suitable for prolonged spaceflight, and subsequent capsules used more compact design with a single re-entry vehicle.
