How can you transfer or collect only specific science experiments from a container?


Recommended Posts

I've been playing KSP for around 2500 hours according to Steam, but I'm not sure how much offline time was counted in that. Anyway, in all that time I have yet to find a way to collect or transfer only specific science experiments. For example, I have a couple of missions to pick up artifacts from Duna and Ike, which are recorded like science experiments, and bring them home. I have  about 25 other experiments in the probe core (RC-L01) that I would like to move to a science lab in orbit. The probe core, and the science container can "collect all". I can review the list and transmit or turn it into the science lab until it gets full. The problem is, with 25 experiments, it will get full and I want to leave the rest with it's container before heading back to Kerbin with the two artifacts. Has there been any way that anyone has found yet, without mods, of doing just this? If not, I hope they add it to KSP2. It doesn't make any sense that science experiments can't be separated because scientists don't just toss everything into a pile of goo and study the reaction.

If I understand you correctly, you have a science container and a probe core that both have experiments, correct?  I don't think it can be done without a Kerbal.  Hopefully I'm not stating the obvious but if you can get a Kerbal there, it could transfer from container to container.  At least for kerbal'd missions, I have the command pod and a science container on my lander.  I gather all the science first and do a collect all from the science container.  Then I gather all the science again and manually collect with the kerbal (scientist) and place it in the command pod.  Once back at my station, I EVA and pull the science from the container and place it in my science lab for processing.  I then move the science from the command pod to a ship returning to Kerbin.
