Radiation Shielding

Description
A significant scientific and technical breakthrough for your agency - reduces static interference on your messages to the shuttle.

Cost
- One MINOR PHYSICS breakthrough

Radiation Shielding also requires one free hardware slot

Impact
The first time this upgrade is purchased, one character of static will be 'repaired'. So for example, a message which would have been read as, "We will Bu home" would - after this upgrade - read "We will Bru home". Note that this applies to each incidence of static within a single message, so if you are on a particularly staticky channel this upgrade will be especially helpful. Each subsequent time the upgrade is purchased, a further character of static will be 'repaired' in this way.

Note that it is critical to understand that this only applies to characters which successfully leave earth's atmosphere; scrambling caused by hostile action of another agency is not affected by the presence of upgraded capacitors.

Future Research
Mastery of interferometry techniques could lead to some interesting developments in the message control and manipulation medium. With the insights your team gains installing one or more Radiation Shields, you believe they could potentially discover Spectrum Control

You can repeat this research to further lower the static being passed through each message
