| rdfs:comment | - Thunderbird 3 is International Rescue's single stage to orbit (SSTO) space vehicle designed for space rescue and maintaining the systems and crew of Thunderbird 5. Like all the Thunderbird machines, it was designed by Brains. Its main pilot is Alan Tracy, with his brother, Scott, usually acting as co-pilot.
- Primarily piloted by Alan (John Tracy if it's Alan's turn to monitor Thunderbird 5), although Scott Tracy co-pilots. Since John is usually seen in Thunderbird 5, he is rarely seen piloting the spacecraft (only in The Mighty Atom, Danger At Ocean Deep and The Uninvited, and never in a rescue situation). In Ricochet, Virgil is seen piloting Thunderbird 3. This craft was used for space rescues in Sun Probe, The Impostors and Ricochet, as well as escorting Zero X briefly as the start of Thunderbirds Are Go. Tin-Tin helps operate the safety radio beam as used to help the Sun Probe rocket.
- Thunderbird 3 is International Rescue's space rescue and satellite shuttle craft.
