	The '''Mk1 "Explorer"''' can contain one Kerbal and one Kerbal only. It is mainly used in landers where the parts directly above the command pod have the same radial size as parts directly below it, in this case the {{Size\|Size=SM\|Add Category=1}} size. The octagonal shape allows easy and convenient placement of radially mounted equipment like science experiments.		The '''Mk1 "Explorer"''' can contain one Kerbal and one Kerbal only.

	The drawbacks of this flat design, however, is the fact that, in atmospheric flight, it produces a lot of drag and provides an inefficient launch vehicle and/or plane (this is especially inconvenient in areas like the [[Kerbwide Tour: Kapy Rock\|Kapy Rock mission]]). Another setback is that the small variety of the heatshield does not fit on this part, which can pose a challenge if you are not performing a mission with two separate vehicles (i.e, an Apollo style ~~Mun~~ mission). It is recommended you store this part in a [[fairing]] to prevent the drag issue, and have another vessel capable of storing multiple Kerbals or using a [[probe core]] (for control) to dock with when returning home or aerobreaking		The drawbacks of this flat design, however, is the fact that, in atmospheric flight, it produces a lot of drag and provides an inefficient launch vehicle and/or plane (this is especially inconvenient in areas like the [[Kerbwide Tour: Kapy Rock\|Kapy Rock mission]]).
