The MAX-1 is a crewed spacecraft designed by Copenhagen Suborbitals. It is named after American rocket engineer Maxime Faget. The MAX-1 is designed to be similar to the Mercury spacecraft.

For descent it would have used a parachute which deploys from the top of the spacecraft. The ingress/egress hatch is placed above the head of the astronaut and can be opened and closed from both the inside and outside using 8 pneumatic cylinders. MAX-1 was produced out of aluminium.
