The '''Command Pod Mk1''' houses the Kerbal crew during their mission. At least one is required to build any kind of rocket.
 
 
 
== Usage ==
 
Generally placed at the top of the rocket, the aim of the game is to get your crew into space and land them safely again back on the surface of [[Kerbin]].
 
 
 
Command pods provide basic control and [[S.A.S. Module|SAS]]-like functionality at this time.  This is often sufficient for smaller rockets, though larger ones will require additional control systems.
 
 
 
You cannot create a launch-able rocket without picking a command module, created after opening the [[VAB]] or creating a new rocket, at this juncture.
 
 
 
== Description ==
 
{{Quote
 
|Originally built as a placeholder for a demonstration mock-up of a rocket, the Mk1 Command Pod was heralded as a far safer and more reliable option than it's predecessors by rocket scientists throughout the world. It is now commonly seen in active service.
