We are set to launch the first of our 2nd generation communications satellite, which have more reliable power systems. Once deployed, the first generation satellites will be decommissioned and de-orbited. Once Kerbin's network has been upgraded, we will deploy networks to Mun and Minmus, establishing reliable communication throughout Kerbin's SOI. Download craft! Download kOS scripts! Year 2, day 223.

Mission Summary:
With the automated scripts, this was a very easy mission. The probe launched into a parking orbit, then performed a manoeuvre to rendezvous with the old probe. Then, the probe performed a rendezvous, and then adjusted the orbit to have the preferred 90 minute period. Maybe we should have done that after all four probes were in place... Unfortunately, KomSAT-1a was out of propellant and could not be de-orbited. Instead, it has been powered down. Comments are closed.
