RemoteTech - Version 1.6.10
Summary
RemoteTech is a modification for Squad's "Kerbal Space Program" (KSP) which overhauls the unmanned space program. It does this by requiring unmanned vessels have a connection to Kerbal Space Center (KSC) to be able to be controlled. This adds a new layer of difficulty that compensates for the lack of live crew members.

Download
The source code for RemoteTech is licensed under GPL version 2. The part models are not licensed to the general public and may not be redistributed without permission from their original creators.
WARNING: the 1.5 release changes the mod's folder and DLL names from "RemoteTech2" to "RemoteTech". If you are upgrading from 1.4, you must delete the old RemoteTech2 folder before installing this version. We take NO RESPONSIBILITY for any bugs that may happen from having both "RemoteTech" and "RemoteTech2" in your GameData folder.

Pre-release builds - https://github.com/RemoteTechnologiesGroup/RemoteTech/releases
Important: The 'pre-releases' are debug builds of the current development tree. They are not guaranteed to be feature-complete or bug-free. They are intended for those that wish to test out the next version of RemoteTech before it goes on general release and are aware of the risks of doing so.
Suggested Mods
Players have found the following mods enhance their RemoteTech experience:
KSP-AVC - keep RemoteTech (and other mods) up to date
Smart Parts - automated staging and action group execution. Can "program" by chaining parts using action groups.
Landertron Rockets - automated approach and touchdown.
Fine Print - get paid for putting up all those comsats
Mission Controller - customizable comsat contracts
Contract Pack: RemoteTech - lots of contracts defined for RemoteTech
RemoteTech is not yet compatible with either of the two full-featured autopilot mods, MechJeb and kOS. Mix at your own risk.
Supported Mods
Control Lock by Diazo
Optional configs
These are mods of the RemoteTech mod. While most of them can be placed anywhere in the GameData folder, you may wish to put them in a personal folder (e.g. GameData/MyScripts/) to avoid overwriting them. Since many of these files are contributed by the community, we provide no support for them:
Descriptive antenna text -- if you get confused about which antennas fit which roles. Now with 100% less Kerbal humor.
RSS Ground Stations -- essential for playing with both RemoteTech and RSS. This file MUST go in GameData/RemoteTech, or it will not work.
Stock antenna configs -- for using RemoteTech antennas without the RemoteTech mod
