It’s my first time trying deployed science and I’m really not sure how it’s supposed to work. The first one was really slow, so I deployed a second one (side note: are they supposed to duplicate infinitely? After I deployed the first one, my kerbin returned to the ship and then suddenly there was another one available?). It wasn’t working, so I deployed a second solar panel (same deal with the duplication. I’m sure I only put one on the ship at launch). It still doesn’t seem to be working.
There is a specific order in which to deploy the experiments in order to avoid problems:

Then I am not sure about having 2 times the same experiment, specially if it was put there by a duplication bug.
Oh that’s very interesting. I actually haven’t put any coms up yet (I had hoped that a scientist could just collect the science and take it back to a craft with antennae…), but apart from that, that’s actually the exact opposite of the order I did things in. I figured you needed power before anything else could work, so that has to go first, etc. So thanks for that info, I’ll see if it helps.
