A Command Pod is a cabin part which allows kerbals within to control their vessel.
Command Pods play a central role during both construction and flight. In order to build a rocket or plane, the player is first required to choose a command pod. The chosen pod acts as a basic fixture during vessel construction and cannot be retroactively exchanged in-game. Upon launch, the pod will house the crew. Vessels can only be controlled as long as at least one crew member is in the command pod.
All command pods provide torque for manual control, but no real SAS functionality. There are five different pods in the game, two of which are crew pods designed for use with rockets, whereas the other three are cockpits designed for use with spaceplanes. The main difference between the different command pods is their outer form and their crew capacity.

In the "Science" and "Sandbox" modes, a kerbonaut with any specialization can use all the functionality of the SAS on board the manned command module without restrictions.
