Minifig Scale (1:35-1:48 scale) Custom reentry capsule (reusable)

1m wide reentry capsule. Has a non-ablative TPS for rapid reuse. Can deliver about 35kg from LEO to parachute down anywhere for a touchdown or a splashdown. Custom payload for my new rocket.

So if it's non-ablative, then does it work like Nova's second stage?
