The PPD-10 Hitchhiker Storage Container (also HSC) is a crew container for 4 Kerbals. Its lack of command module functionality means that another manned command pod or a probe core is required to control the vessel to which the PPD-10 is attached.

Usage

The Hitchhiker Storage Container is empty by default but can be filled in the VAB by using the crew tab.

The main uses of storage containers are:

  • Crew quarters for space stations
  • Holding rescued Kerbonauts
  • Crew quarters for large vessels

Description

The PPD-10 is one of the few parts in Kerbal Space Program that is covered in multi-layer insulation.

The HSC was an invention of necessity - how do we store 4 Kerbals on-orbit without any real provisions for return? Who needed this remains a mystery, as do his motives.
