How much science can each vessel store?

[mrnicholas]

I'm pretty sure this is a re-ask but I can't find the information anywhere.

Bill, Bob and Jeb are looking to go on a grand tour, collecting science as they go. Since they will be returning to Kerbin (hopefully), I figured I could recover the data opposed to transmitting it (crew reports and eva report I'll transmit for 100% the data).

I was hoping to keep to the main 3 person capsule, (MK II I think), but don't know how much data it can hold and/or how to store more?

Thanks in advance,

Nick.

Infinite, provided they are of different type/situation

Excellent, and thanks for the quick response.

So to makesure I understand you correctly, a materials bay over moho and a materials bay over eve can both be stored?

Yes, although a scientist will need to take the data from all experiments and restore the materials bay and goo pods before new reports can be generated.

Also a Kerbal will need to take the crew report from the pod and then store it in the pod before a new crew report can be made from that pod.

For example I just did a trip past Eve and landed on Gilly; while areobraking all science experiments were performed in EVE atmosphere, once in space after that all the data was taken from the science parts / crew pod and materials bay and goo pod restored. When on Gilly the science experiments were performed again, taken and stored in the pod. Can be repeated for each biome / situation (flying, landing, low space, high space...)
