HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) - A local NASA team designed elements for the rescue capsule bringing 33 trapped Chilean miners to the surface.
NASA knows how to construct unique vehicles. When the Chilean engineers decided a capsule was the best way to rescue 33 trapped miners, Clinton Cragg thought he could help. Cragg is the principal engineer at the NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) .
Over the course of three days, about 20 people from NESC hammered out 75 recommendations, said Cragg. Most all of the design elements found their way onto the 13 foot, 926-pound capsule dubbed Phoenix. Inside there is no wiggle room. The 20 minute ride up from 2,400 feet below will be cramped. The engineers packed in what they could to provide some comfort.
"The guy is going to be in constant communication topside. He's going to have lighting, he's going to have an oxygen mask in case the air gets bad," said Cragg.
Chilean engineers expect it will take an hour for the capsule to make one round trip journey. Presumably, it will be the foreman, the leader, making the final ride.
"It ought to be designed so a single miner can get in and secure himself because there's going to be a last guy and he's got to be able to do that all himself," said Cragg.
For the members of NESC, this will be a mission for the history books. For Cragg, it will be a memory he will never forget.
"When the four of us were in this little shack where the speaker phone was - the miners gave a Chile cheer. They have a thing in their country where they go 'Che, che, che, lay, lay, lay something after that all of them in unison did that for us," said Cragg.
Since his return home, Cragg has spoken to school children who have been very interested in the rescue mission.

Miners monitored during ascent
The miners are closely monitored from the moment they are strapped in the capsule. They had been given a high-calorie liquid diet donated by NASA, designed to keep them from vomiting as the capsule rotates.

A video camera in the capsule is used to monitor for panic attacks. The miner uses an oxygen mask and has two-way voice communication.
They also wear sweaters because of the shift in climate from about 30 C underground to near freezing on the surface after nightfall. Those coming out during daylight hours will wear sunglasses.
After medical checks and visits with family members selected by the miners, the men will be flown to hospital in Copiapo, a 10-minute ride away. Two floors were prepared where the miners will receive physical and psychological exams and be kept under observation in a ward as dark as a movie theatre.
The last miner who will leave the mine has already been decided — shift foreman Luis Urzua, whose leadership was credited for helping the men endure 17 days with no outside contact after the collapse. The men made 48 hours worth of rations last before rescuers reached them with a narrow borehole to send down more food.
