Try the X-38 crew rescue vehicule. It was design for that. (Avsim)
But escape pods are for large vessels or orbital stations, not for vessels to small like DGIII.
It would be fun an ejection seat with the DGIII.

Dan, maybe you could do that for DGIV?
Of course maybe it will be useless in space but why not.
Imagine a DGIII pilot activing unlucky the ejection system
