			'''PPD-12 "Sightseer"''' is a cupola observation module. It is unlocked from [[Medium Orbital Rockets]] in Tier 2 of the [[Tech Tree]]. It features an array of seven large windows and room for one Kerbal.

The Sightseer is typically utilized as a part on space stations. It has the highest mass of all single-Kerbal command pods, but has a greater battery and monopropellant capacity as well as maximum torque. Its heat tolerance of only 750 K does not make it an ideal choice for an atmospheric entry command module, on par with with the [[Mk1 "Explorer"]] and [[Mk2 "Tuna Can"]] lander can pods.

The '''PPD-12 Cupola Module''' is a Command Module housing one Kerbal crew member during its mission. It features a hexagonal shape and seven large windows, used for a wide field of view for all your "'''Sightseer"''' needs.

It has the highest mass of all of the one Kerbal command pods, but has much more electricity, torque, and monopropellant, making it perfectly ideal for space stations.

This module is also inspired by the Cupola module of the [https://www.nasa.gov/international-space-station/ International Space Station].

== Usage ==

The "'''Sightseer'''<nowiki/>'s" main purpose is to provide a good outside view from space stations or colonies, and probably just as a decorational part overall for making better looking stations.

It is heavier and larger than other command pods and cockpits like the [[Mk1 "Tin Can"]] or the [[Mk1 "Explorer"]], which also have crew capacities of one, while still being lighter than parts with higher crew capacities. It is also quite fragile, has higher drag than most other parts, and has a relatively high energy capacity.

Overall, this part is most advised to be used for space stations, or anything where you would need a part that looks ''exactly'' like this one (Outer Wilds ship, anyone?)
