Kerbal Research & Development (or KRnD) is a mod for Kerbal Space Program, which aims at giving the player a more interesting end-game experience. With this mod you can spend science-points to improve the stats of unlocked parts such as the mass or engine-efficiency, giving you a good reason to bring back every single last bit of science from your deep-space missions that you can.

At the moment you can improve the following stats::
- Dry mass of all parts (reduced mass of a part when empty)
- Atmospheric or vacuum ISP of Engines (improving their fuel efficiency)
- Fuel flow of Engines and RCS-Thrusters (increasing their thrust)
- Torque of reaction wheels
- Charge rate of solar panels
- Crash tolerance of landing legs
- Battery capacity
- Efficiency of Generators (eg RTGs)
- Efficiency of Resource Converters
- Deployment-speed for Parachutes
- Maximum internal- and skin-temperature
- Fuel pressure (capacity of fuel tanks)
Please note that this mod is not 100% compatible with other mods which modify parts at runtime (eg TweakScale or FuelSwitch).
