Newcomer / Intro Delphi Sector - Occupied Escape Pods from Donar's Oak

Hi all - likely dumb newbie question incoming

I figured I'd go to Delphi to help evacuate civilians from the damaged stations. I landed on the Donar's Oak escape ship first, and took on a mission to source 4 unit of occupied escape pods. The wording made it seem like I could collect them from the station. After landing on DO, I couldn't found anything on the missions boards. Even checked the commodities board, as the mission description warned me to have enough cargo space, but that was empty.

Anyway, I picked up some passengers and legged it out of the station, then searched for likely signals close by. I found one, cruised over, and discovered one occupied escape pod, which I scooped up. Went back to the rescue ship and dropped off the passengers, but still can't see any way on the mission board to hand over the pod. The only thing I could do was hand it in through the contacts page. Is that what I'm supposed to do? And there aren't any more signals in the Donar's Oak region, so how do I source more pods from there?
 
Ahh, IN the station? That sounds like I won't have enough heat sinks to make it in and out without getting flambéed.

Thanks for the help!
 
Heatsinks and about 4 limpets should do the trick.
Collect items in the station before taking the missions then check the rescue ship boards then.

What ship are you flying, some are pretty hot running.
 
My approach to rescues is use a ship with lots of Utilities loaded with Heat Sinks, get docking permission and when inside the station use collectors to acquire everything floating loose then after 7-8 minutes dock and cram in as many passengers as possible then leave and head to the rescue ship where I will get missions for the cargo I collected after selling unloading the annoying passengers.
