Greetings everyone! I recently started to built larger communication infrastructures supporting massive explorations towards Duna and Eve. Now I've seen a video by Scott Manley talking about sunsynchonous orbits and was wondering if those mechanics might help in optimizing communication networks. So, is it possible to have 2 different satellites orbiting both Duna and Ike, Eve and Gilly so that the planetary satellites keep a sunsynchonous orbit with their respective moons as the "sun"? Same goes for the moons. Espescially in case of Duna and Ike, who are tidally locked where I could have permanent outposts on their surface both facing each other.
