The Command Pod Mk1-2 is a Command Module housing three Kerbal crew members during their mission.
Usage
Generally placed at the top of the rocket, the Mk1-2 Pod provides full command module functionality. The Mk 1-2 Command Pod has half the RotPower (And associated SAS/ASAS/RCS multiplier) of other cockpits. For smaller rockets, this is often sufficient.
The Mk1-2 Command Pod features a size-1 node on top, typically used for 1m parts, especially the Mk16-XL Parachute , and size-2 node below. The Pod is outfitted with several steps under the crew hatch as well as two windows facing upwards and two more sideways windows the crew can look through during IVAs.
This command pod has a high impact tolerance of 45 m/s which makes it much more stable that most other parts. The result is that the pod is often the only part of a ship which survives a crash. That's good for the crew when the crash happened on Kerbin, but not so good when on another planet, because it usually means the crew is stranded without a way to get home. But note that when it comes to pure impact tolerance, the Cockpit Mk3 intended for spaceplanes has an even higher rating.
