| − | == Usage ==
| |
| − | Generally placed at the top of the rocket, the Stayputnik Mk. 1 provides full command module functionality. Due to the extremely low internal torque, rockets using a Stayputnik Mk. 1 module tend to require vectored thrust, [[RCS]] thrusters or [[reaction wheel]]s.

| − | | |
| − | The Stayputnik Mk. 1 features one tiny-size node on its bottom. Until the release of the [[Probodobodyne OKTO2]] in version 0.19, it was the lightest command pod.

| − | |The Stayputnik offers the ultimate solution in crew safety. A lightweight sphere equipped with remote receivers and relay control input from the ground to the craft, it carries no crew at all, thus keeping them perfectly safe from all harm. This device does require electricity to operate however, and will cease to function if the power runs out. The built-in batteries should keep it going for about 10 minutes.

| − | == Naming ==
| |
| − | The name might come from the module's resemblance to the USSR satellite Sputnik. It could also be a reference to the first US satellite launch of the [[w:Vanguard TV3|Vanguard TV3]]. Upon its catastrophic failure on the launchpad, foreign press made fun of the Vanguard, calling the satellite, among other things, a “Stayputnik”.
