  S.S. Birdseye    
  The Birdseye was launched in the late 20th century carrying a cargo of cryogenically preserved humans from Earth.

The cryosatellite drifted in space for some 300 years before being discovered near the Kazis Binary star system by the Enterprise-D. Although most of the satellite's storage modules had failed, three individuals were revived: Claire Raymond, Sonny Clemonds, and Ralph Offenhouse. All three were later returned to Earth on the U.S.S. Charleston. TNG The Neutral Zone.

The cryosatellite was designed by Rick Sternbach and Mike Okuda. The model was later modified and used as Subspace Relay Station 47 in TNG Aquiel.
