Colonizing Duna... and Beyond

Launch 1-29: Kerbin-Class Thud-Terrier KomSAT Mk I

11/23/2015

 
Picture
While we could probably put a satellite in orbit of Mun right now, we finally have the funds and technology to deploy our Kerbin communications relay network. The plan is to deploy four identical satellites to medium-height orbits, evenly spaced around Kerbin. Their omnidirectional antennae will provide relay communications to satellites orbiting Kerbin. Two satellites will relay communications to Mun, the other two to Minmus.

Year 1, Day 337.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Deploy KomSAT-1a to a circular 777km orbit.
We did not go to space today.

Mission Summary:
  1. Deploy KomSAT-1a to orbit: Loss of control during ascent.

Unfortunately, I ran into the 1.0.5 fairing-offset bug. I don't have the part count to add fins or reaction wheels to compensate, so I'm going to install Stock Bug Fixes (but only enable the fairings module). Hopefully Squad will fix this in an update, but I'm not holding my breath.
