HEAT 1X Tycho Brahe low-speed main parachutes for deceleration. The sheer volume of the MSC provided the buoyancy in the water. Pressurized nitrogen would have been used for attitude control. The attitude thrusters were part of the non-pressurized volume of the spacecraft. The first MSC was christened "Tycho Brahe 1" and its first flight was unmanned using a crash test dummy. The man-rated Tycho Brahe would have maintained the 640-mm diameter. The ship was named after Tycho Brahe, a Danish nobleman known for his accurate and comprehensive planetary and other astronomical observations, such as the 1572 supernova. The actual rocket development resulted in numerous
