The Lowell-class Researcher is a class of Science Vessel.
The class consists of a science command module on the front, followed by a long superstructure of various modules, and a drive module on the rear.
Towards direction of travel, one Cargo Bay can be found. In direction of rear there is a Hackable Data Transmitter, and a second Cargo Bay.
Its default Cargo of around 450 tons is Chemicals, Minerals and Technology.
There are two Ship Log Uplinks. One is generally mounted on the nose of the ship, the other in its middle.
- Hackable Data Transmitters: 1
- Cargo Bays: 2
- Total Cargo: ~450t
- Default Cargo: Chemicals (Hydrogen Fuel, Hydrogen Peroxide, Liquid Oxygen, Mineral Oil, Water), Minerals (Bertrandite, Coltan, Gallite, Rutile), Technology (Computer Components, Micro Controllers, Robotics)
- Rare Commodity Sub-Types: Consumer Items, Medicines

Known examples of this class are:
Cave Johnson Memorial Science Lab - The Cave Johnson Memorial Science Lab, a Lowell Class Science Vessel, is expected to be in the following system, based on the last reported flight operations plan: A number of Engineer Materials are scattered nearby, and a number of ships are in the area. A Ship Log Uplink point can be located on the hull....
Ghost Ship Adamastor - The Adamastor, a Lowell class science megaship, can be found orbiting Chukchan 5 b. It is on fire and there are cargo and engineering materials nearby. Scanning the ship with the Datalink scanner reveals the usual array of subtargets, including a data point that gives more information about the ship. There is also a local...
Hesperus - The Hesperus, a Lowell class megaship owned by Azimuth Biochemicals. It is the sister ship of the Adamastor. It can be found in asteroid cluster 1 of Perseus Dark Region KC-V C2-2 B. A dredger from the Scriveners Clan which was claiming to own to salvage rights on the Hesperus left in July 3307. There...
Lowell Class Science Vessel CMB-511 - The Lowell Class Science Vessel designation CMB-511 is expected to be in the following system, based on the last reported flight operations plan: A number of Engineer Materials are scattered nearby, and a number of ships are in the area. A Ship Log Uplink point can be located on the hull. Deploy your ship’s hardpoints...
Lowell Class Science Vessel HDR-617 - The Lowell Class Science Vessel designation HDR-617 was last reported in orbit of the planet Pleiades Sector OI-T c3-7 B 8. The ship is heavily damaged, destroyed by weapons consistent with other Thargoid attacks, leaving green hull scarring and some kind of green gas throughout the area. A Ship Log Uplink point can be located on...
