Scientist
From Kerbal Space Program Wiki
Scientist is a specialization assigned to Kerbonauts. As of 1.0.5, scientists do not boost the amount of science gained from recovering experiments. They also provide no bonus from transmitting data, although the green text makes it look like they do. They can, however, increase the amount of science generated per day in the Mobile Processing Lab MPL-LG-2. As of 1.0, scientists are able to restore inoperable experiment modules while on EVA.
Bob Kerman is the scientist in the original four.
