The capsule is designed to float. The two wedge keels at the bottom of the capsule will flood with water to hold the capsule in an upright position. The balloonists’ survival gear includes survival (immersion) suits, life vests, an inflatable life raft, and E-PIRB (personal locator devices) – an emergency signal device that sends out GPS coordinates as well as a signal.
