How to find the boundary between high space and near space


Recommended Posts

Celestial bodies have different "zones" for collecting science in - high space, near space and obviously landed/splashed (and maybe others in the atmosphere if there is one). Is there a way of finding out where the high/near boundary is for each body? For example, is one of the numbers on the wiki page this value?

Well, if you do not mind experimenting a little, get KER or rather [thread=18230]Kerbal Engineering Redux[/thread] And just drop a vessel through the SOI of the relevant body and watch the thing called situation, it will transition between in orbit high and in orbit low. Or get Science Alert which will tell you when there is new science available. Also, have you tried searching google for sth like science altitudes mun, or Biome list 1.0.4. Just a few ideas, you can of course do it in stock by just spamming e.g. crew reports and checking wehere it changes

The boundary between High and Low is listed here: http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Science#Celestial_body_multipliers

There's also info for the atmosphere, if there is one, and the different altitudes.

Some experiments, at some altitudes, can record science over each surface biomeme. It adds up. Others will just give a global result. Some experiments can be used multiple times. That web page has a lot of details.
