The capsule is the crew compartment where the astronauts stay most of the time. There are several main considerations and patterns about a rocket space capsule. Here are some generalizations.
1) The space capsule houses astronauts, is the location where astronauts sit during take off and landing, and is where the command captain sits to control the spacecraft
2) The capsule is generally no larger than the diameter of the rocket
3) The capsule extends from the wide diameter side to a narrow top side
4) The shape is for greater aerodynamics in penetrating the atmosphere
5) The wide base helps create drag during reentry
In Space1 rocket designs, the capsule has variations. In one variation, the astronauts do not sit at the top of the rocket. This ensures that a rough parachute landing will not disturb the most valuable cargo. The crew compartment is located farther back, closer to the middle of the rocket where strong bulk heads exist. The offers more protection to the crew compartment /capsule.
In other designs, the space capsule is at the top of the rocket where it can be ejected from the rest of the rocket and returned via its own parachute. This lessens the mass of the capsule making it lighter for a softer landing. The tourist capsule may have greater window space, and in some designs - surround windows know as picture windows, to give spectacular tourism views.
