Scientist is a specialization assigned to Kerbonauts. Scientists are able to restore inoperable experiment modules while on EVA. They also convert "data" stored in the Mobile Processing Lab MPL-LG-2 into science, with higher experience level scientists working faster and up to two scientists contributing in parallel. Bob Kerman is the scientist in the original four.

Abilities

Additional abilities are unlocked as Experience is gained.
