Code-wise, MKS parts contain specific modules that implement the different capabilities. This page lists the different modules used by MKS and provides a brief description of their capability. In addition, each section also identifies which parts implement that module, so, for example, you could find all parts having the Habitation modules to see which ones should be included to ensure you can make a trip of specific duration.

The Modules are divided into the following functional groups:
