R.E.M. Work-Pod's inspect meteor strike damage on the Orion nuclear-pulse interplanetary stage of a commercial spacecraft. In this instance the Work-Pod's are carried on the transport (sans their orbital maneuvering stage) for the purpose of just such an eventuality.

You will have to view full screen to pick them out against the landing stage of the interplanetary transport. The meteor strike is on the Orion impulse stage, Work-Pod's are in hover between the descent and landing engine's on the transport's spherical landing stage, just below the landing-strut.

Image is part of a future historical setting, see my journal entry Orion's Arm Future History, A Synopsis.

A Timeline Graph is to be found here: Timeline.

In the context of my future history timeline these systems would come into use during resource recovery missions of the Martian Terraforming program at +350 years, service would extend into the System States era at +750 years and beyond.

More information is to be found in my journal entries: Outer Solar System Frontier and System States Era.

In this image the Work-Pod is the gold anodized glass version of the model with nested telescoping curved armor plates deployed to protect the glass view-bubble.
