Defiance 7

Defiance 7 was the space capsule in which Captain Carl Bell of the United States Space Administration (USSA) made his historic flight, becoming the first human in space, on May 5, 1961. This claim was disputed by both the Soviet Union and China. Captain Bell's flight lasted twelve minutes and seven seconds, and made a full revolution around the Earth. Bell died when the capsule crashed on its return to Earth.

Behind the scenes
This is the Fallout universe's version of the suborbital flight of Alan Shepard, first American in space, on the same date (cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first human in space, on April 12). His Mercury space capsule was named Freedom 7 (the number 7 is a reference to the number of astronauts chosen for Project Mercury.)
