The following Information was derived form Wikipedia.org:

The Atlas LV-3B, Atlas D Mercury Launch Vehicle or Mercury-Atlas Launch Vehicle, was a human-rated extendable launch system used as part of the United States Project Mercury to send astronauts into low earth orbit. Originally Conceived from the Atlas 1, it was it derived from the SM-65D Atlas missile, and was a member of the Atlas family of rockets.

Atlas D missile-derived SLV-3s were used for orbital launches with the RM-81 Agena and Centaur upper stages. The modified Atlas LV-3B was used for the orbital element of Project Mercury, launching four crewed Mercury spacecraft into low Earth orbit.

Atlas boosters were also used for the last four crewed Project Mercury missions, the first United States crewed space program. On February 20, 1962, it launched Friendship 7, which made three Earth orbits carrying John Glenn, the first United States astronaut to orbit the Earth. Identical Atlas boosters successfully launched three more crewed Mercury orbital missions from 1962 to 1963.

Atlas saw the beginnings of its "workhorse" status during the Mercury-Atlas missions, which resulted in Lt. Col. John H. Glenn Jr. becoming the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962 (Major Yuri A. Gagarin, a Soviet cosmonaut, was the first human in orbit in 1961.) Atlas was also used throughout the mid-1960s to launch the Agena Target Vehicles used during the Gemini program.

Vizzy:

The Vizzy Program will start automatically once you spawn. The Vizzy Program includes a immersive experience including camera changing, fast forward speed, and a full successful orbit around the earth. Once the Capsule Is in orbit and the vizzy program displays “Done!” You are allowed to take manual control. If you would like a version without the Vizzy Program, Go here

The craft also includes a automatic and manual abort system. It gets triggered once something explodes, and you can trigger it manually. Do not trigger Abort system above 33,000 Meters.

Other Specifications:

This Craft contains a substantial amount of parts, but it was created on mobile and should be able to run with highest physics with the lates phones and iPads, Including the A14 and A15 apple chips, and as well as Snapdragon chip. This craft was built on an iPad and iPhone 12, so I can tell you that the iPhone 12 can run it with max settings. The iPad Air 3 however, experienced a few minor crashes when trying to launch the craft, But about 80% of the time it was able to run it smooth. So, If you are in a mobile platform that you are not sure will be able to run the craft, please Reduce the graphics to medium or low.

And Please! Maintain the physics settings on high. The Vizzy program and the rocket may not work properly on medium or low physics.

The Mercury Capsule That comes with the Atlas 1 has a full interior, with a window and hatch.

I will Be uploading the Mercury Capsule by itself soon, and I am currently working on the Redstone Rocket.
