New experiment modules, running a variety of experiments accruing even more data, may then be built to conduct tests around all celestial bodies found within the Kerbal solar system. The data gathered through research and scientific experiments furthers the player's abilities by unlocking access to new parts for potential spacecraft and space stations. Kerbal Space Program has issued a new update, version 0.22, adding research and development functionality and scientific experiments to Career mode.
