As the Soyuz spacecraft is only capable of of holding a crew of 3, a new "Crew Return Vehicle" is in development. The Crew Return Vehicle or X-38 will be capable of holding a crew of 7, returning to earth within 2–3 hours. The battery system is being designed to hold a charge for up to 9 hours, which would be sufficient for the circumstances in which the craft would be used. The navigation system is designed to be capable of being fully controlled from earth, should the crew be incapable of running the craft.<ref>[http://www1.jsc.nasa.gov/er/seh/crew_return_vehicle_X38.pdf Crew Return Vehicle]</ref>
