Scientific Instruments

Gain science points in Kerbal Space Program using instruments like the Mystery Goo Containment Unit and SC-9001 Science Jr. for new technologies.

Scientific instruments are how you gather science points to unlock new parts in the R&D facility. Examples include the Mystery Goo Containment Unit, SC-9001 Science Jr., Barometer, Thermometer, and Accelerometer. Each instrument can gather data from different biomes and situations (e.g., 'in space high', 'in flight low').

Remember that transmitting science often yields less than recovering the data on Kerbin. Scientists can reset many experiments for multiple uses. Plan your missions to visit different biomes and situations to maximize your science returns.
