Mercury Capsule

Redstone Atlas Pack Required
Some or all of the parts and/or features on this page require the Redstone Atlas Pack in-app purchase.

Trivia[]

This is the only part where the Capsule texture is used. It's like the separator texture, but stacked a number of times, depending on the size of the part with the texture.
- To access this skin, use external blueprint editing.

This capsule is slightly wider than a normal Capsule, and its heat shield is black.
The capsule can carry only one astronaut.
In July 2018, Stef Morojna has stated that the normal Capsule was based off the Mercury capsule.^[1]
