The Clamp-O-Tron Jr. is a small docking port, useful for attaching small probes to other spacecraft. Using the Clamp-o-tron Jr. makes the connection a bit heavier than using a TD-06 Decoupler (0.02 tonnes compared to 0.01), but an advantage of using the docking port is the ability to add parts and modules later on the mission without wasting a big docking port or having to send an extra docking adapter.
Product description
| “ | Originally marketed as a child-size version of the normal Clamp-O-Tron, the Clamp-O-Tron Jr. soon found use among hobbyists and professional space agencies alike for its compact profile, lightweight structure, and all-round cuteness. As a result of its small size, kerbals need to hold their breath and wiggle to slip through. | ” |
