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".

Usage

The "Tuna Can" is mainly used for MD landers. While it doesn't hold nearly as much electric charge as its capsule counterpart the "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.

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 MD heat shield will protect against, which can lead to heat affecting the part itself.

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

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."

Trivia

The part's name refers to its resemblance to a can of tuna.
