The Stayputnik Mk. 1 is an unmanned command module that runs on Electricity. It seems to be based upon the main body of the USSR satellite, Sputnik.
Contents
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 tend to require vectored thrust or RCS thrusters.
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.

“ | Our most popular satellite core, Stayputnik is a simple lightweight sphere constructed of aluminum with lots of surface area for attaching things. The Mk2 model includes an underside mounting bracket. | ” |
Naming
The name may be because of the resemblance with the USSR satellite Sputnik. It could also be a reference to the first US satellite launch of the Vanguard TV3. Upon its catastrophic failure on the launchpad, foreign press made fun of the Vanguard, calling the satellite a “Stayputnik” among other things.
Changes
- Renamed from Stayputnik Mk. 2 to Stayputnik Mk1.
