Mobile Lab Data Question

[Awesomesauce1337]

So Ive landed a science lab on the Mun and forgot to put enough power to send the science back to Kerbin I'm wondering if its possible to send something else to transfer the science to and use that to transmit it back to Kerbin?

You can set your antenna to [allow partial] and transmit. Will take longer since you will need to wait for recharging but will be done eventually.

Or you may send a supplementary power unit with an outlet to plug the lab in

Thank you for the idea to use the klaw I will try it

Also, just so you're aware, there is no way to extract the processed science from the lab and return it to Kerbin in another vessel.  You can transmit it or send equipment to assist it in that transmission, or else you can return the entire lab to Kerbin and recover it, which I understand will also recover any science stored inside.

The reason for that is because the way science is normally transferred from place to place is as discrete experiments in containers that carry experiments, rather than science points.  Once the data is processed in the lab, it becomes unbound science points that are not tied to any specific experiment and therefore cannot be transmitted in an experiment container.

Send a scientist there and he/she can grab the science 100% out of anywhere.

Send an engineer with some extra battery packs to install.
