Clarabella 7

Clarabella 7 was the United States Space Administration space capsule flown by Colonel Hartigan.
==Background==
During the 1960s Space Race, Colonel Hartigan was performing a low-orbit mission for the USSA in the Clarabella 7 when he was captured by aliens.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.45: "AliensOnce thought to be covered up by a government conspiracy and believed only by 'crackpot' groups such as the Quaere Verum, evidence of extraterrestrial life can be traced back throughout human history, but became nationally recognized after the mysterious disappearance of the Clarabella 7 space pod during the 1960s Space Race. It is said that Alien technology was the basis of many of the Enclave's more exotic and impressive weaponry and robotics, and even toy manufacturers such as Wilson Automatoys weren't immune to these accusations. Recently, after the discovery of an Alien body in Fort Bannister, the shocking truth was revealed. The Aliens are not only real and alive, but they’re back. And they're pissed."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide faction profiles) The capsule is still aboard Mothership Zeta in its research lab. Its pilot is also aboard the Mothership, found deceased.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.66: "Colonel Hartigan (deceased)Hartigan was returning from a low-orbit mission in his capsule Clarabella 7, but he never made it back to its ocean splashdown rendezvous point. The mystery was soon covered up by the U.S. government and the United States Space Administration, who claimed the craft crash-landed after becoming entangled in high-altitude weather balloons. Hartigan himself soon made first contact with the Aliens and attempted to calmly explain his mission. His screams can still be heard echoing through a Recorded Log on the ship. He was placed in cryogenic stasis pod, but complications and pod malfunctions, plus the stress he endured during his Alien encounters, caused the colonel to expire. His Spacesuit is still useful, however."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census)
