The Mk1 Cockpit is a cockpit-style command module that is designed to be placed on the nose an airplane or spaceplane that uses parts of a small radial size.

Usage

Interior View of the Cockpit Mk1

The Mk1 Cockpit is generally found at the front of the spacecraft and can house one Kerbal crew member. It's especially useful for IVA flights because its large glass canopy offers a wide field of view; however, it cannot mount an inline parachute because it lacks a frontal node and is less useful for rockets because it's heavier than the Command Pod Mk1.

Docking mode panel of the Cockpit Mk1 placed behind and over the pilot

In 1.0.5 a "docking mode" was added. When the screen is clicked, the IVA view moves to a location behind the seat, looking up through windows designed to look at a docking port directly above the craft.

C7 Aerospace is proud to present our second generation cockpit. This unit is equipped to ensure survival in some of the worst conditions possible. The extra re-enforcement has slightly increased the weight.
