The Micro Spacecraft (MSC) had a steel pressure hull, and room for one passenger designed and built by Kristian von Bengtson who co-founded Copenhagen Suborbitals.
The passenger was able to view the outside through a perspex dome.
The occupant flew in a half-standing/half-sitting position, in order to decrease the diameter of the spacecraft.
The passenger sat in a specially designed seat, and would have worn anti-G trousers to avoid blackout.
The heat shield was made of floor cork.
Life support would have consisted of a diving rebreather derived CO₂ scrubber and breathing O₂ system.
Another compartment contained both the high-speed drogue parachute and the 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.
