	The '''Mk1 "Tin Can"''' is a single-seated command pod with a conic shape that is designed to be placed at the top of a rocket or any other craft that could require an aerodynamic profile for atmospheric flights. It is a very universal pod as it can be used for basically anything. Landers, return vehicles, motherships? You name it, this part can do it.

	This capsule's low center of mass and large base makes it exceptionally suitable for atmospheric reentry, as it will generate high amounts of drag and stay stable even without control, and it's relatively low mass and resulting inertia are quite low so controlling it is as easy as forgetting your staging. However, it does need a heat shield to safely perform a reentry, lest you burn up at the high orbital speeds of [[Kerbin]] or any other celestial body you might throw this pod at. This capsule is also quite reliable for single stage landing designs without a mothership. It might have a higher torque and be more durable than the [[Mk1 "Explorer"\|"Explorer"]], but the "Tin Can" is heavier, and overall ~~have~~ less resources than the lander can, making it an overall less appealing choice for lander design.
