Where is the science at?


Recommended Posts

Get into orbit and try to get EVA reports from low orbit above as many biomes you can catch - grassland and water is easy, shores, desert and highlands doable, mountains "run away" fast, badlands need some tweaking of the orbit sometimes, tundra and ice require polar orbits.

Do not forget quick "system checks" - as I like to call the quick and dirty science collecting there - on launch pad and runway .. :wink:

While training your kerbonauts to level one (by getting them into orbit once) try landing in different biomes after each flight for more reports and maybe experiments and instrument readings - while on a ladder, the kerbonaut counts as "flying above ...", so get yet another EVA report there - the capsule on a parachute will also count as "flying above", even more reason to land in different biomes.

Do a probe mission beyond Kerbin's SOI and take readings around its star Kerbol.

Whenever possible unlock another experiment in the tech tree and repeat some flights - preferably and to avoid boredom in science rich locations: Kerbin's orbit high and low, later in orbit around its moons.

Also know that even lvl 0 Scientist can now restore Goo and Materials bay. You dont need multiple copies of experiments anymore if you bring Scientist with you. Saves whole lot of dV in biome hopper designs. Aslo you can now take preasure and temp readings in vacuum. 3500+ science can be harvested from Minmus very easy. I Have 70% of tech tree unlocked now( set to 90% science gain in carrer) and i have not yet left Kerbin SOI and landed on Mun only twice.
