P.S: How many solar panels? 2x Gigantor XL solar arrays are the standard.

Revisit the lab every now and then and press "Transmit science" to send the science back to earth. 6000+ if you allow it to fill up with science).

This process uses a ton of electricity, so you need big solar arrays and HUGE batteries (like, 4000 plus for a kerbal-orbiting lab. Once your lab is stocked you press the Start Research button and it will generate science. I managed to fill up a lab just with EVA reports and Gravimetric readings from Kerbal Orbit).ģ. The lab can store up to 500 data (not a whole lot.

The data can then be recovered back to earth as normal. Speeding up time doesn't speed up the process so do it at x1 time compression). When you press that button the data is sent to the lab (this takes time. Once you're docked with the labvessel you can review your data and you'll get a new yellow "science bottle" button. Then you need to bring science data to the lab vessel. The scientists should be as high ranking as possible since this reduces the time you need to process data.Ģ. You need to staff it with 1 pilot (can be a probecore) and at least 1 scientist (preferably 2). I bring up data from Minmus in my lander and transfer it to the lab, then later on I transmit something back to Kerbin? How many scientists should I stash there?Īlso, how many 1圆 solar panels will this thing need?ġ. The lander can then get the science and refuel from the station and finally head back to Kerbin when we are done.Įven after reading the Wiki, I guess I don't quite get how the science lab works. My basic plan is to put it into Kerbin orbit then launch a tug/lander to bring it out to Minimus. Speaking of science labs and Minmus, I've got a contract to put one in station in orbit around Minmus.
