Year 1, day 163.

​Customers:
  • Ionic Symphonic Protonic Electronics
  • Rockomax Conglomerate
​​Mission Objectives:
  1. Achieve orbit around Kerbin.
  2. Run experiments and transmit data on command
  3. Perform automated orbital adjustment
Crew:
  • None

While Forager IV was able to transmit data, it was unable to receive commands. SCISAT 1's software has the ability to run commands sent via kOS, allowing longer missions and possible recovery from software bugs.

Once in orbit, a command will be sent telling the probe to take a temperature reading, and transmit the data back to KSC.

The satellite's thrusters fire to circularize the orbit.

Once safely in orbit, SCISAT I deploys its antenna and begins tracking the sun.
Picture
Once a communications link with the satellite was established, KSC sent the command to record science, and the probe successfully performed the command.
Picture
The next objective was to perform an orbital adjustment, raising the apoapsis to just under 170km.
Picture
SCISAT I was then updated with a new mission script to adjust the orbit.
