Is it intentional that experiments on the added planets don't show the biome when they're collected? For example, "temperature scan from recorded" or "atmospheric analysis while flying over recorded." I can see biomes on the added planets in KER but not in Kerbnet, science archives, or when I actually collect them. I don't seem to have this problem on Kerbin or The Mun. Sorry if this was mentioned earlier; I searched this thread and didn't find anything about this. Still having a lot of fun with this mod!

I had that same question too originally. Try sending them to The Mun; the crew will probably all level up to level 1. I think earned XP may have been modified so kerbals don't get to level one from just orbiting around Kerbin.

Right, I understand that part. Maybe I'm not explaining my problem well. Basically I want to use my telescope, that's already in orbit >200000km, to further research already discovered celestial bodies (by pointing the telescope at them and clicking "Track Bodies" a few times) so I can go to them. The contract for this is grayed out because there are two "Unmet" conditions: "The Observatory must be level 1: Unmet" and "There must be Bodies yet to have their research completed that are within range of a Telescope: Unmet." But I definitely do have a level 1 observatory and I haven't completed research on any new bodies, let alone all of them... I have a bunch of other mods installed, including the New Horizons planet pack, but they all seem to be playing nicely with each other so I'm not sure that this is a mod conflict issue. EDIT: I tried to recreate the problem in sandbox mode, which didn't entirely work because of the whole no contracts thing, but I did notice something: Once I discovered a body I could start a research plan for it (just like I was able to before) and underneath the button I clicked to start the research plan was another button that allowed me to Research: Aspect. After clicking that a couple of times I could research the orbit and characteristics by clicking another button. Neither of these buttons showed up in my career save. (I also still couldn't use my telescope in sandbox mode to do what clicking the buttons in the observatory did, but that's probably tied to the contracts.)

Yeah the tracking station is already level 2 (upgrading to level 3 didn't help.) I have access to the Observatory and can start research projects there, but once started they just sit at 10% and the only option given is to stop the research project which sets it back to 0%. I suppose I could research all the planets just by accepting contracts to research a body, but that takes a long time and would be very expensive to do 10x times per planet since each contract just bumps up the research completion by 10%. I assume that I can eventually accept a contract so I can use my telescope to research the planets, but I either haven't figure that out yet or it doesn't seem to be working.

Hi @JPLRepo, Thanks so much for making this mod! I appreciate you taking the time to do this. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug, but I can't seem to further research any celestial bodies. I've managed to discover most of them with the telescope, which I know only discovers the bodies, but I cant accept a contract to use the telescope to research the bodies because it says in the contract "The Observatory must be level 1: Unmet" even though the observatory is level 1 (I also tried upgrading it to level 2 to see if that solves the issue which it did not.) I tried researching a planet in the observatory but the research plan has been at 10% and has not budged. I'm playing on career mode, 1.3, and I updated to your latest version of Research Bodies 1.9.3. EDIT: I also noticed that another part of the contract seems odd: "There must be Bodies yet to have their research completed that are within range of a Telescope: Unmet."
