			'''Mk2 "Tuna Can"''' is a two seat lander can. It is unlocked from [[Medium Orbital Rockets]] in Tier 2 of the [[Tech Tree]]. It features a short, round design and large window. It has two siblings parts, the [[Mk1 "Explorer"]] and the [[Mk3-L "Wanderer"]].

	The '''Mk2 "Tuna Can"''' is a two Kerbal lander can designed for heavier landings and more resources compared to its smaller counterpart, the [[Mk1 "Explorer"\|"Explorer"]], but lighter landings than the large variation, the "Wanderer". It features a {{Size\|Size=MD}} node on both the top and bottom, making it good for placement anywhere on landers.

	While it may contain less electric charge than the [[Mk1-3 "Gumball"\|"Gumball"]], this part has more monopropellant,and is lighter than it too, making it an ideal choice for lander design where docking may be important.

	~~Unlike some other command pods, this module does not yet feature a transparent cockpit.~~

	== Usage ==		== Usage ==
	The ~~'''Mk2~~ "Tuna Can"~~''' can contain two [[The Kerbals\|Kerbals]] It~~ is mainly used ~~in landers where the parts directly above the command pod have the same radial size as parts directly below or above it with it's two~~ {{Size\|Size=MD}} ~~attachment nodes~~. ~~The circular shape~~ of ~~the part~~ provides ~~lots of~~ area for ~~side mounted equipment~~ such as science experiments, ~~and the flat top, should you choose to keep it available for placement~~, ~~is a great place for parachutes~~ or ~~a docking port for~~ landing ~~on any atmospheric celestial body~~.		The "Tuna Can" is mainly used for {{Size\|Size=MD}} landers. While it doesn't hold nearly as much electric charge as its capsule counterpart the [[Mk1-3 "Gumball"\|"Gumball"]]), it does contain more monopropellant with a lower dry mass. Most of its radial exterior is blank which provides a wide area for radially attached parts such as science experiments, parachutes, or landing legs.

	~~It doesn't have nearly as much electric charge as it's capsule counterpart (~~the ~~[[Mk1-3~~ "~~Gumball~~"~~\|"Gumball"]]), but it overall has more resources and~~ is ~~much lighter, making it~~ ideal for ~~lander design (especially non-~~atmospheric ~~landers when paired with vacuum optimized rockets like~~ the ~~[[RE-L10 "Poddle"~~\|~~"Poodle"]])~~		Like other lander cans, the "Tuna Can" is not ideal for atmospheric entry due to its lower maximum heat tolerance. Additionally, the bottom of the part is flared out past what a {{Size\|Size=MD}} heat shield will protect against, which can lead to heat affecting the part itself.

	~~Its circular shape also makes it perfect for return missions as heatshields will fit on it~~, though its center of mass is farther from the bottom which will make it less stable. The only downside of it is the flat top it features, which will produce a lot of drag when launched through an atmosphere. This can be easily solved with a ~~[[Nose Cones\|nose cone]]~~.		Unlike some other command pods, this module does not feature a transparent cockpit.
