KSP Loading... Preview: Breaking Ground - D3 Weather Analyzer

[St4rdust]

This multi-functional experiment gathers data on wind, pressure, temperature, and humidity to generate a picture of the planets climate model over time. 

Note: Please allow trained Scientists to deploy for best results. Needs a deployed power unit & central station to operate.

MORE stuff to do on planets! \o/ 

[St4rdust]

[StrandedonEarth]

Now how are we going to deploy that in Jool's atmosphere?

Looks cool though, for Kerbin, Eve, and Laythe. It should be biome-specific, I would think

Dangerously. I’m thinking a landing can with a steel platform surrounded in heat shields so that you can exit a Kerbal onto the platform and deploy the experiments.

Although that only works if they can be deployed on a ship.

Would be cool if there was weather, humidity, and wind to analyze.

finally, a planet themed expansion, I Can't wait 'till this comes to Xbox

Good point:

Jeb: "Hey Bob, the weather analysis should be done by now. Go see what it says..."

Bob: "It says 'Error 404K: Weather not found'!"

[EchoLima]

It's nice to have science experiments that take duration and location into account.

One thing though: Does the part really vanish when it's done? That seems... odd.

In another DLC

Quit stringing us along!

Tell us about the hinge!!!

 

(I'm kidding. this is much appreciated  )

I rewatched the little video till the end.  That is strange.

lol. the absence of stock clouds is 1000% more jarring now with this part.

I think that's a glitch

No that’s just a game being a game lol. The Kerbal is picking it up.

I'm sure it just goes into the parachute pack.

Peace.

I am intrigued and I wish to know more.

Google “Kerbal SEP”. It’s going to be pretty much identical from the sounds of things.

 Think it’s like picking up a flag. Which also gives us a clue on how these are deployed, through a Kerbal; and *poof* there it is.

That won’t be receiving rewards for elegance but I’ll take it, regardless.

I hope that you can only have a limited number of experiments in a capsule and you have to choose wich ones you can bring

You can bring them all. There will be storage containers for hauling it along.

I assumed the Kerbal picked it up.

Looking awesome!

But PLEASE let these be generic (ie, possible to build using standard solar panels or whatever) and not -have- to be the new special Surface Science parts.

[Guest]

So how much can the kerbals store?

Agreed.
