The Communotron 16 is a deployable antenna item for the science transfer system. Like the Communotron 88-88, the Communotron 16 can be deployed and retracted through action groups or manually.
Currently[outdated], it has "PhysicsSignificance = 1", making it a zero drag and massless part.
Technical
Extended Communotron 16 on a Command Pod Mk1
The Communotron 16 has a data rate of 0.8 Mits/s and a data cost of 10 e/Mit. While by far the slowest transmitting device, it also uses the least amount of electricity and is the first one the player gets their hands on. It's small and can be placed almost anywhere.
