KerbalX

Description

Trinity SpaceLab is a self-contained research facility built with mid-game technology, carefully tuned for low part count of 60 and long range. Designed to go to Minmus orbit in a KScale2 solar system, it probably has enough delta-v to reach Duna in stock.

Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.0.4.

Usage tips

Be sure to launch with 2 trained scientists. The lab has a probe core so you don’t need a pilot - the Can is for Crew Reports. You may wish to add the solar panels to Lights if you’ll be docking frequently. In spite of being nuclear-powered and 30 tons, it is quite nimble. Grab the experiments in low orbit, boost to Minmus or Mun, grab high Kerbin science on the way, etc. Settle into a stable orbit and start crunching data! You can fill the 500 data easily just by arriving in low orbit.
