As of 0.22, the PPD-12 is best used in:
- Very heavy crafts where a heavy command module will not significantly affect the craft's performance.
- Anything that needs a large amount of torque to turn.
- Crafts with too many parts, where it can replace a few RCS thruster ports and battery packs.
Description
The PPD-12 is one of the few parts in Kerbal Space Program that is covered in multi-layer insulation.
| “ | The PPD-12 was developed to provide a high visibility control room for orbital stations, and a place for thoughtful Kerbals to contemplate the beauty of the cosmos. — Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spaceship Parts Co. |

Trivia
- There is a photo of two Kerbonauts on the right side of the cockpit.
- A few sticky notes can be found as well:
| “ | Left the emergency slide rule in the bottom right cabinet. B.K. P.S. I ate all the snacks — On the roll indicator |
” |
| “ | Stop using bits of metal as fuses YOU HAVE SPARES! — On the fuse box |
