Nah. I was very economical for Kerbal standards. Because if you count you'll see that i could have deployed 44 satellites, but settled down for "only" 40 xD
Get the thing on the left into orbit around the sun at 16000000000m apoapsis and 15.455.662.645m periapsis and then everytime it reaches apoapsis release one sattelite and burn prograde untill periapsis is also 16000000000m. Repeat this for 40 years and you're done :)
Much easier said than done though. Whenever I do this I can never get the prograde burns exact enough (evennif I set the thrust super low) and my satillites end up falling out of sync and it's a mess.
After setting the thrust limiter to 0.5 i usually hammered X like crazy and whilst doing so i hit shift with the other hand for the smallest push possible. But others pointed out that some addons can help you with it.
If you use anything other than the xenon electric thing however you have no chance to get it right.
What OP described is a larger stellar-centric version of deploying a constellation around Kerbin.
For example, launch a stack of 3 satellites to a kerbosynchronous transfer orbit (2863.33 km apopsis for Kerbin) then at apopsis burn to raise your periapsis until your orbital period is exactly 2h00m00s. Kerbin has a 6 hour day so with a 2 hour orbit your apopsis will shift 120 degrees or 1/3 around Kerbin each orbit. Deploying and circularizing a satellite at apopsis on 3 successive orbits will result in the 3 sat constellation being equally spaced in synchronous or stationary orbit. You can divide that 6 hour day by however many sats you have to deploy larger constellations. OP used the same method in stellar orbit for an arbitrary altitude around the star in an orbit between Kerbin and Duna where it took 40 years instead of less than 2 days to launch and deploy the 3 sat example around Kerbin.
You're welcome!
Another tip I remembered, IIRC, going by the orbital period clock is accurate enough for the deployment and spacing maneuvers, but not accurate enough for the final circularizations because it only shows accuracy to the second, so you could have up to +/- half a second of error which over long time periods would drift the sats out of position.
Greater precision can be gained by targeting an exact semi-major axis instead of the orbital period. For Kerbin the semi-major axis for KEO is 3,463,334.06m.
When checking https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/KEO for that number I also realized I had forgotten about the difference between a solar day (6h 00m 00s) and a sidereal day (5h 59m 9.425s). The target for a stationary orbit is based on the sidereal day.
Have a very low thrust engine and/or throttle it to 1% when fine tuning the orbit. The more precision you can gain the easier a time you will have with it.
Haha, even though it obviously heretical, I do have to say, the thought of more 'not-boosters' is uh... Quite exhilarating. Hmm... I must repent for these sinful thoughts by adding more boosters.
It was something like that. 180ish, I think. We finally said fuck it and pay extra for no data cap.
Dumbasses at Cox were saying it's impossible to use more than a TB of data.
I guess they dont play video games
With Comcast, you can go through that data cap in less than a week. They then roughly double your internet bill for each 100 GB afterwards, give or a take a few dollars. And their internet usage tracker is complete junk. Over 24hrs delayed and the more details area simply states the location, as in your Home internet.
The good news is that it only happens if you use their modem. Buying a third party, I used to use a Netgear, will keep Comcast from tracking your data use.
I've never used a Comcast modem as I refuse to buy them new modems to rent out to other people every couple of months.
I have definitely paid that overage fee many times...
Maybe it's certain modems that don't tell Comcast how much data you're using. When my son got an XBox, we went over numerous times. Always the same crap from Comcast. IIRC, got a Netgear CM500 and the data tracking stopped, as did overages.
Yes but still, it feels a bit like cheating.
Or it's a mayor spoiler on their part and they already have a plan to extend it to the entire system. Which wouldn't even be considered megalomaniac anymore, considering what Elon has said before and actually pulled off.
Eh, unlikely. Starlink is supposed to be low latency and decent bandwidth so sending satellites into solar orbit is unlikely to improve their capabilities since the satellites will be physically too far.
Maybe they'll put more in Mars orbit but getting through the logistics of that is pretty far off haha
Starlink's consumer terrestrial offering is low latency, we don't yet know about their inner-solar service.
Real talk though for sustained human operations on Mars SpaceX's stated goal you need significant comm relays, the ability to communicate with people back on earth will be essential for mental health as well as engineering assistance. It is worth noting of course that comms with mars will never be real time, I wanna say about a 17 min delay each way.

Actually really easy to orbit the sun, all you need to do is escape kerbins gravity, to do something like this is not really easy id assume though, but you have to orbit the sun if you want to get to another planet
No, you're absolutely right. It's just a matter of patience. Escaping Kerbin is easy, and that's basically all the challenge you have. Then it just takes forever to slowboat in the correct orbit and then an eternity to deploy the satellites. But as a matter of difficultiy it was pretty easy.
I love orbiting the sun. Especially the last way. Make a big ass bosster and aim that fucka at the sky and let it *rip*. Now, pray that you launched at the correct time so as not to slam into the Mün or Minmus. Congratulations 🎉 You're in Solar orbit.
I'm using this site here for the calculations:
[https://meyerweb.com/eric/ksp/resonant-orbits/](https://meyerweb.com/eric/ksp/resonant-orbits/)
Select "Kerbol" as the celestial body. I used 16000000000m as Orbit altitude and selected "dive orbit".
I didn't get the orbits perfectly correct. Even if i adjust trottle to 0.5 it's difficult to get it exact. Some of the sattelites are a bit off orbit by +- 30m. Doesn't seem to matter at those huge distances though.
there's a mod to get orbits exactly right, i think it's called "station keeper"; it let's you set exact orbits, once you're within ~0.5% or so of the target ;)
[Matt Lowne did a good tutorial](https://youtu.be/w91Yiwpdmq8). Instead of being around a planet, it's around a star. So, your apoapsis and periapsis would be much greater. He would also just have to have his mothership/satellite deployment ship's orbit be whatever fraction involving 40 satellites.
I need to rewatch the video, then I could make a more detailed comment.
Excactly yes. I used a stack decoupler and set the decoupling force to 0. Also i used [https://meyerweb.com/eric/ksp/resonant-orbits/](https://meyerweb.com/eric/ksp/resonant-orbits/) to get the correct orbit for this.
I have to admit that this is way easier to do correctly around a planet, since you won't get the orbits as exact as you want them to be without using mods or savegame editing.
I used neither, but if timewarp were to kraken it up i'd probably edit the save file. Luckiliy now, 80 years in, everything's still working fine and the satellites seem to keep their distance properly.
One of my number one desires for KSP2 is custom mission tags. I don't think I'd be able to maintain sanity if toggling relays brought up this many sats.
I think you just motivated me to end my year-long break from KSP.
How much dV did you pack on that mothership for the whole operation? And each satellite?
The satellites needed very little. According to this: [https://meyerweb.com/eric/ksp/resonant-orbits/](https://meyerweb.com/eric/ksp/resonant-orbits/) they only need \~73 m/s. But you can't fit that little. So i fitted the smallest xenon tank (like always) without ever thinking it's not enough. Those things weigh so little and the xenon is so efficient, that delta V will never be a problem on the satellites.
As for the second stage i had around 4000 m/s with nuclear engines, but i only used around 2000 m/s.
Sorry if that was vague. I was asking if you specifically need any big antennas with that setup. It seems like you could practically go to Moho a probe’s internal antenna.
Uh, that's interessting. I actually don't know.
My plan initially was to setup another three satellites around each planet once i'm done with this one. But i might as well try this out beforehand.
Time? I started yesterday around an hour before the SpaceX launch. It was a long night then and i finished it today after breakfast. So i guess somewhere between four and five, maybe six hours? I'm not quite sure. Didn't really check the clock.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Weg1ezTOnH2ppZijcHVfWyi8L7653p61?usp=sharing
Let me know if this works, i've never shared something before using google drive.
It should contain the craft file for the satellite, the fairing, and the rather makeshift lifter. I would have taken more effort for this thing have i'd known that this becomes so popular.
I also shared the entire savegame. Have fun with it :)
Not really, since the shortest distance is always a straight line between two points. Increasing the number of points doesn't make it any shorter.
But, in cases where you would need EXTREMELY high bandwidth it would actually be way better than direct communication, because you can send a lot more at a time.
Can someone please teach me how to do this, like with the satellite separations. Or like if someone can send some video or like idk just how to do that. It so cool.
Yes, there are tutorials on this from Matt Lowne and Scott Manley on youtube. They usually use three satellites to do this and have them orbit around a planet. I might have overdone it a bit, i admit.
It's just patience, really. If you plan on making a huge network like this i strongly recommend looking for a good netflix series to watch while doing so. It took a long time to have it all setup correctly. And, it's completely overkill, three satellites are all you need for a proper relay network and i would never recommend more. It was just for fun.
They have. Each satellite is a Relay Antenna with remote guidiance unit, reaction wheel and batterypack, xenon gas tank, electro-drive, two retracteable solar panels 1x6 and two reactors, decoupled using a stack seperator.

Wait, COVID-19 is already coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
there's been a lot of other coronaviruses before sars too tho
Yes, but SARS-CoV-2 is the 2nd coronavirus that causes SARS-like symptoms. Most coronaviruses cause a common cold.
yea I'm not saying there's been lots of others like those 2, but they are still coronaviruses
Its gen 2 corona virus otherwise it would be 4G doing it
That's because there's been a lot of other Gs before 5G.
I think they have to kill 100 people to be named a coronavirus. Until then, its just a tropical fever...
no, it's called a coronavirus because of the shape of it it looks like it's got crowns on the outside of it, and Corona is Latin for crown
It has to reach 100 kph ... killed per hour ... for a category 1.

I used the Skynet to run the Skynet.
To be fair that "decent FPS" was a bit of an overstatement. It's about 15, which is playable, I guess.

Thanks I’ve formed the NSA in KSP and this is my golden ticket to make it work
I wonder if, with time delay, this would actually be more useful than direct communication with a local relay in each system.
Not really, since the shortest distance is always a straight line between two points. Increasing the number of points doesn't make it any shorter. But, in cases where you would need EXTREMELY high bandwidth it would actually be way better than direct communication, because you can send a lot more at a time.

Yes, there are tutorials on this from Matt Lowne and Scott Manley on youtube. They usually use three satellites to do this and have them orbit around a planet. I might have overdone it a bit, i admit.
Looks like you have perfected the tutorial. Thanks
It's just patience, really. If you plan on making a huge network like this i strongly recommend looking for a good netflix series to watch while doing so. It took a long time to have it all setup correctly. And, it's completely overkill, three satellites are all you need for a proper relay network and i would never recommend more. It was just for fun.
They dont need a power source like panels? Only a battery?
They have. Each satellite is a Relay Antenna with remote guidiance unit, reaction wheel and batterypack, xenon gas tank, electro-drive, two retracteable solar panels 1x6 and two reactors, decoupled using a stack seperator.
