Relays the Kerbal way - a timeless classic

that isnt a relay, thats an in-orbit bombardment

I remember playing with comm relays on real scale solar system when you had to have line of sight to the ksc to actually keep control, I made geostationary relays and placed them as close as I could to the geostationary orbit but when I time warped for 5-10 years for some distant missions invariably these would have drifted to the far side of the planet. My solution was doing essentially this. I had about 50 satellites in orbits near to the influence of the moon giving them more time over the ksc and more chance of at least 1 being there. Doing it in one launch and deploying them like this was my issue as eventually they all converged back into one group on the far side of the planet again.

Did you just go for the Pe and Ap settings to be close to correct or did you try to set it to the correct orbital period? Getting into a stationary orbit that will last longer means not just getting the Pe and Ap close to correct orbit, but getting the orbital period correct. You need to match the orbital period to the sidereal rotation period of the body that you are orbiting. For Kerbin that is 5 hours, 59 minutes and 9.425 seconds. For Earth it is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.0905 seconds (I am not sure if that translates to RSS).

The Elon Musk method...

@wills.5762 2 ай бұрын

Do something like this, but stage it. Release 1 satellite at a time at a slightly different orbit, 10-15 equatorial, and the same polar. Would need a lot of delta V but it is doable

@@wills.5762 I did that to gain full coverage in the dark side of the Mun. Pretty standard stuff, tbh.

Less controllable

@dallor09 2 ай бұрын

they want starlink to be in specific orbits and they can only launch 23 at a time on falcon 9

@daedelushex1841 2 ай бұрын

It's kinda cool, they sort of do. SpaceX rotates the Falcon 9 second stage slowly, and then releases the Starling satellites like a deck of cards, and then they wait for them to spread out before commanding them to raise to a higher orbit. The satellites are designed to handle softly bumping into each other as they spread out.

Spacex wishes they could do this. Restrictions

@Alien_Bones 2 ай бұрын

SpaceX actually wants to know were the sats will ''sit'' after launch, in advance, instead of this ''sit were ever it happens to'' method.

Never understood why players put the relays so close to Kerbin.

@Alien_Bones 2 ай бұрын

It's easy and assures that you have radial coverage instead of having to chose to maximize inner or outer system ''side'' of kerbin related to kerbol. New players will favor achive stable orbit asap to step by step burn into a further out orbits, i beliave.
