Cooper felt the planet would take too much time to visit and may jeopardize Plan A. Unfortunately, the planet was deep within Gargantua's gravity well, meaning that the time dilation on the planet's surface was over 60,000:1 - one hour on or near the planet's surface equated to 7 years on Earth. All three signals indicated that their respective planets held promise, but Edmunds' homing beacon stopped transmitting three years prior to their arrival.ĭue to the Endurancit vector from the wormhole, the planet with the nearest and most energy efficient intercept course was Miller's planet. Mann, the leader of the Lazarus Missions. There, they received the cached data transmissions from three of the twelve Lazarus astronauts: Dr. The Endurance crossed through the wormhole, carrying its crew ten-billion light-years across space to the Gargantua system. The ship conducted a counter-orbital sling-shot burn around Mars to pick up additional speed. After boarding the Endurance, checking out all systems, and firing its engines, the crew would hibernate in hypersleep pods for the two-year journey to Saturn where the wormhole was discovered. With the reappearance of Joseph Cooper, who flown on the early Ranger test flights, the mission found its pilot. Brand, daughter of physicist John Brand, scientists Doyle and Romilly, and military surplus support robots TARS and CASE, the latter being left aboard the ship while it was in orbit. Using a gene bank of fertilized human eggs aboard the ship, begin developing and raising incipient humans upon the planet in order to prevent the extinction of mankind.

PLAN B: In the event the gravity equation could not be solved, or solved too late, use the full resources of Endurance to establish a permanent colony.Solving the equation would enable mankind to harness gravity and evacuate every person off Earth. John Brand was confident to have solved the gravity equations by the time they return ("years" after launch). If the Endurance possesses sufficient fuel, return to Earth to join a worldwide colonization effort. PLAN A: Locate the most habitable planet and transmit findings to Earth.Establish a base on the most promising world capable of supporting human life, utilizing one of two plans:.Evaluate their research and select the best possible world. Travel through the wormhole and rescue several of the twelve astronauts of Lazarus Missions who found a suitable planet.
The goal of this expedition was two-fold: With the discovery of potentially habitable worlds beyond the wormhole, the Endurance was designed for an unprecedented interstellar expedition. With the reduced capacity of NASA, the Endurance likely took a decade to complete. The latest advancements in aerospace technology - such as the Ranger and the Lander - were later docked to it. The ship was slowly constructed piece-by-piece in low Earth orbit, using expendable boosters derived from the Saturn rocket and the Space Launch System.
Thus, work on the Endurance continued in secrecy. NORAD's extensive underground facilities and launch systems - originally meant for nuclear weapons - were ideal for housing a secret space program aimed at saving mankind. The agency continued its work in secret for over a decade. After the arrival of the blight, public opinion would no longer support any funding for space exploration, and NASA was moved into the underground NORAD facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was designed to be self-sufficient for several decades, enabling it to prolong crew life for a protracted mission period. The Endurance is the product of a much-earlier NASA project to produce a viable, long-range, high-efficiency, interplanetary spaceship. The primary goal of the Endurance is to find, rescue, and resupply the few marooned scientists of the previous Lazarus missions in addition to establishing a permanent colony on a suitable planet that could sustain human life. It is the ship that carries Cooper, Amelia, Doyle, Romilly, CASE, and TARS on their voyage through the wormhole to a system located in another galaxy near the black hole Gargantua.
The Endurance is the interplanetary spacecraft built by NASA as part of Project Endurance.
