The Mk2 "Tuna Can" is a two Kerbal lander can designed for heavier landings and more resources compared to its smaller counterpart, the "Explorer", but lighter landings than the large variation, the "Wanderer". It features a 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 "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.
Usage
The Mk2 "Tuna Can" can contain two 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 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.
It doesn't have nearly as much electric charge as it's capsule counterpart (the "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 "Poodle")
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 cone.
Synopsis
"The Mk2 "Tuna Can" is a cozy two-seat lander can designed to transport a pilot and crew to the surface to any body they wish to explore. Lightweight in design, it comes equipped with a small battery, monopropellant storage, and a built in reaction wheel. Just don't forget the snacks."
