Unlock cost 20 000 Funds
Since version 0.18
Part configuration commDish88-88.cfg
Packet size 2 Mits
Transmission speed 20 Mits/s
Electricity required 10 ⚡/Mits

  1. 1.0 1.1 The mass and drag are from the part config, but the game handles it as physicsless.

The Communotron 88-88 is a deployable antenna, and is the antenna with the smallest transmission interval and highest total throughput. The Communotron 88-88 is deployed during science data transmission and retracted when transmission is complete.

Currently[outdated], it has "PhysicsSignificance = 1", making it a zero drag and massless part.
