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.
Technical
The Communotron 16 has a data rate of 5 Mits/s and a data cost of 5 e/Mit. While by far the slowest transmitting device, it is also the using the least amount of electricity and is the first one the player gets their hands on. It's small, has almost no mass and can be placed almost anywhere without having to worry about list on the vessel.
