Usage
It is the more advanced scientific sensor added with version 0.22. The unit cannot be reused after its results were transmitted, unless it is cleaned by the Mobile Processing Lab MPL-LG-2.
The measurements are only biome specific if on the surface. At all other altitude segment the measurements are always the same over the complete segment. It can gather science at all altitudes and environments.
Trivia
- If the part is used in sandbox mode, the data message says "I don't think we are getting much done here", etc.
- The number 9001 in the name is a reference to HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey. This is supported by the report obtained when observing the module while high over Jool. Moreover, by zooming on the activated module, there is a red light that looks like HAL's red dot. It is not a reference to the "over 9000" meme from Dragon Ball Z.
Description
| “ | The SC-9001 is a cutting edge, self contained laboratory. Have you ever wondered what happens to something in zero G? Or, have you ever pondered the truly meaningful questions? Such as what would happen if I exposed this to the rigors of stellar radiation and unforgiving vacuum? Comes with complimentary notepad. Recommended for ages 4-8. Small parts inside make it not suitable for small children. — Experimental Engineering Group |
