The Cupola Module's main purpose is to provide a good outside view from space stations or bases. It is heavier and larger than the other command pods and cockpits which have a crew capacity of one, while still being lighter than parts with higher crew capacities. It is also quite fragile, has higher drag than most other parts, and has a relatively high energy capacity.
Product description
“ | 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 Spacecraft Parts Co |

Trivia
- The PPD-12 is one of the few parts in Kerbal Space Program that is covered in multi-layer insulation.
- 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 |
” |
- The initials B.K. on the first sticky note is most likely referring to Bill or Bob Kerman
