Scientific multiplier

[MetricKerbalist]

Hi KSP colleagues,

If you go to the KSP Wiki and you click on any planet or natural satellite of any planet, you will see in the summary section of that celestial body information on its "scientific multiplier."

Could someone please explain me what a scientific multiplier is.

Thank you.

Hi @kerbiloidand @Dman979,

Thank you for explaining that.  I am just learning this amazing KSP game -- although I am making substantial progress -- so I still am playing in just Sandbox mode.  I see now that the scientific multipliers pertain to Career mode, so right now I can leave this alone.

At first I thought that scientific multipliers had some application to the real world.

Good.  I am all set now with this issue.  Thanks again.

Stanley
