Reentry blackout on high speeds, but only in reentry

[abradani191]

ok, i was designing a rescue SSTO, it works pretty well except by the fact that the probe loses signal in reentry at high speed, but if i take off and reach a higher speed within the atmosphere, the blackout doesn`t happen. I would like to know if it is a know bug or i`m doing something wrong and how i can avoid this (if possible at all). the probe module is in the tail section of the SSTO. Images of the test I made without a pilot.

this is without orbiting (infinite proppelent  used and different engines than the original so i could reach the speed)

 

as seen, no  modifiers on the signal reception

 

below is the test after orbiting (reentry) with the same craft in the image above.

lower speed, pretty much same altitude (but it remains without signal until about 9km).

Hmmm. Looks a bit like a bug, but with all those mods you are running, it's not really a valid bug test. It has to happen on a vanilla install to be looked into as a valid bug.

I dont think the mods i have would have an  influence on this, but sure you have a good point, i will do another test this weekend  .

I wonder if it's just blocked from ground stations by terrain...
