![]() "functional", not barely that nice from the code it seems like RT can eat up quite some processing time on larger networks. Though i still have not figured out a nice looking sat network to cover kerbins poles. Its also nice to frequently see one of them passing by on other crafts and even from KSC. This way i can use the always active 250km antenna for launches. I have a bunch of sats traveling on a as low as possible kerbin orbit on the equator in a direction opposite to kerbins rotation: Once you get your career to the point of bigger antennas and batteries I think you will find the polar orbits multi antenna model saves you a lot of heart ache I was planning a complicated network like yours but with the mods I am running the memroy weight of all those extra flights would have killed my install. Once I got the panels and batts to run the big stuff it made little sence to keep building small. I had more satelites in Kerbin orbit then I have in my total network now. 6 1/2 geo's and 1 geo on kerbin stacked to the cieling with batts and flat sloar panels. I started with simpler ugly little sats when I was mainly playing around in Kerbin Orbit. I use polar orbits on the Munar relays too, great coverage and fewer celestial occlusions. Kerbol Polar orbit offer great coverage with out having to launch so many. The Satelites are light enough that some time spent with Nervs will get you there. I used slingshots to turn the orbits as much as I could, then burned for the polar orbits. Every satellite (but the Ike ones, 5Mm omni antennas are more than enough for it) is mounting a single dish of the shortest range posible for the task. Except Jool, by now it's only getting coverage in Laythe, but give me time to prepare it's own jooolian network. Then I'm sending a couple of satellites to each planet to get the link up and running, and a secondary satellite mini network for their moons when applicable (2x in parent planet, 2x in moon). Also, I got a lower pair of satellites targeting active vessel for interplanetary travels. My orbits are all messed up by now, but I took a different approach.Īll the dishes we have are fixed ones, and my brain can't stand the fact of attaching two of them back to back and magically having them pointing to two planets that can be in any possition other than the right one for the satellite, so I have a 16 satellites ring around Kerbin, in kerbostationary orbit (2x each planet and Kerbin moons, originally placed 180º in each pair and well spaced between them. The idea is not to spam GX-128s, but to use appropriately sized dishes for all planets, both for budget and ec efficiency reasons. This will provide a lot of uptime, while keeping the number of flights and expenses low enough to not bork framerate or "bankrupt" the program. Next phase would be to install two polar elliptic stations that will be the main relays for the entire kerbol system. Using RLA mono engines and micro AEIS RCS blocks for taking them to orbit gave me a constellation precise enough to stay in place for a couple of decades or so without any maintenance needed.C: The big dish is on the active vessel (this will change in phase two though), and the four others look at mission control - the satellite behind - mun and minmus. I use four of these 2tn KSO satellites in a box pattern, each one having 5 dishes and some omni directional antennas (one is enough but symmetry is pretty). I started doing my relay network recently, so there are not a lot of things made yet.
