The Communotron HG-55 is an antenna, used to connect to CommNet and transmit science. It is deployable, and must be deployed before use.

It is a medium sized antenna, more powerful than the Communotron DTS-M1, and weaker than the Communotron 88-88. It is the non-relay version of the RA-15 Relay Antenna.

Product description

The Communotron HG-55 high gain antenna allows for blazingly fast directional data transmission, and was originally designed for deep space probes. Please note that Ionic Symphonic Protonic Electronics is not liable for any damages that might result from prolonged exposure to RF radiation.

Ionic Symphonic Protonic Electronics

Usage

The Communotron HG-55 is a medium strength antenna. Its antenna strength of 15G provides a reliable connection from the inner planets; with a level 3 Tracking Station, it can communicate from Jool and Eeloo, if they are aligned with Kerbin.

Like the Communotron 16, the HG-55 must be deployed before use. Once deployed, it can be broken by aero forces, and must be repaired by an Engineer. Transmitting science will automatically deploy the antenna.

Trivia

  • The Communotron HG-55 was taken from the official SQUAD mod "Asteroid Day".
