The Communotron HG-55 is an antenna, used to connect to CommNet and transmit science. It is deployable, and must be deployed before use.
It is a medium sized antenna, more powerful than the Communotron DTS-M1, and weaker than the Communotron 88-88. It is the non-relay version of the RA-15 Relay Antenna.

Usage
The Communotron HG-55 is a medium strength antenna. Its antenna strength of 15G provides a reliable connection from the inner planets; with a level 3 Tracking Station, it can communicate from Jool and Eeloo, if they are aligned with Kerbin.
Like the Communotron 16, the HG-55 must be deployed before use. Once deployed, it can be broken by aero forces, and must be repaired by an Engineer. Transmitting science will automatically deploy the antenna.
Trivia
- The Communotron HG-55 was taken from the official SQUAD mod "Asteroid Day".
