A Shuttle/capsule with a strong chassis comprising two mainframes 1 & 2, a mainframe plate 3 and aluminium ring 16, allowing the stability of the carbon fibre top section 14 and polycarbonate dome 15 casing. It has a component platform 7 to provide the best view of the flight, which is attached to the mainframe plates by the component platform column 6. A GPS and parachutes release mechanism 8 will preferably be integrated into the shuttle, and the parachute system functions with parachute release mechanism cutters 9 cutting through a cord of spectre 12 to allow the deployment of the parachutes within the pouches 13. The holes within the shuttle/capsule mainframe plate and polycarbonate casing 17 allow airflow within the shuttle/capsule to prevent an issue with a difference in the interior and exterior pressures.
