The thing that seems really wierd to me are the space station, base and satelite contracts, since you dont actually need them to stay there. I have exploited this many times. Having a lander that has enough crew members, solar panels and a docking port, puting it into orbit, wait for the contract to fininsh, then do the landing and head home. The station/base should be, when all requirements are met, "given" to the contract company for some time or forever. The vessel is still trackable, but no longer controlable. What do you think?

So I have been trying to do 3 missions in one launch. Everything went according to plan, but the last mission required mining ore on Pol. The probe landed, but the excavators said theres nothing to mine. The probe has just Ore tanks, 2 Big Excavators and solar panels. I dont know whats wrong. Do I need to scan for ore? Becouse as far as I can remember, you could mine everywhere, scaning would just find a location where you can mine faster. Thanks in advance
