The Mk1 Lander Can is a Command Module housing one Kerbal crew member during its mission. It is designed for landing, and has a "down" looking window to facilitate such activities.

Usage

Inside panorama view on Kerbin

This is the smaller version of Mk2 Lander-can which fits only a single Kerbal. Like the name suggests it is useful for landers, because of the large window and the flat surfaces on the outside, which allow easy attachment of radial engines and/or landing gear. It is however very fragile, which makes landings after the potential loss of landing gear very risky.

Description

This capsule was designed for lightweight non-atmospheric landers, and seats a single occupant. Features a novel full-body crumple-zone technology.
