Mysteries of the Mobile Processing Lab revealed

[Phil deCube]

Over the past few weeks I have seen a few people asking how to use the Mobile Processing Lab. Here is a tutorial I put together that I hope will help make it clearer.

Any lists of the changes since 1.0.5?

From memory, putting the MPL in Munar orbit is slightly easier (for higher Mun orbits) if you are mostly grabbing the science between Kerbin and Munar orbit.  Minmus orbit is a lot easier to return multiple trips from the surface and is probably great for a second MPL outpost.

In 1.0.5 the real trick was to put one on the South pole (at least for Minmus), where it could get solar power 24x7 (or whatever the Minmus day is) and get a higher bonus for being "landed".  This pretty much requires a Kerbal scouting the pole via jetpack and planting a flag in an area that appears to get constant Kerbolight.  Has this changed at all?
