The PPD-10 Hitchhiker Storage Container (also HSC) is a crew storage container. It can hold 4 Kerbals, the most of any manned parts in the game, but unlike a command module it cannot be used to control a vehicle.

Usage

The Hitchhiker Storage Container is empty by default, but can be filled from within the assembly building using the crew tab.

The main uses of storage containers are:

  • Crew quarters aboard space stations
  • Rescuing stranded Kerbonauts and bringing them home
  • Getting a large number of Kerbonauts to another moon or planet

Description

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.
