The Fénix 2 rescue capsule was designed to pull the 33 miners one at a time out of the San José mine. This capsule was put on display in the Atacama Regional Museum, Copiapo, Chile.
The Fénix capsules were designed by the Chilean Navy, in collaboration with NASA. They have a diameter of 54 centimetres (21 in), so it was a close fit. A harness held the occupant and there was an oxygen supply. A microphone with speakers connected the miners with the rescuers at the surface during the rescue.
