I'm working on a scansat contract and it stipulates the following requirements: Simple recon scan data from low orbit above ike Magnometer scan data from low orbit above ike Multispectral analysis data from high orbit above ike Materials study from high orbit above ike Sigint scan data from low orbit above ike I'm familiar with the magnometer and materials study, but what science equipment is required for the other three items? I don't want to arrive at ike to find out I left a key piece of equipment behind.

Yes it's because I'm running 1.1 and firespitter isn't updated. Now to go home and revert my install to 1.05! I found this in the firespitter parts guide: "Propellers Found in the Propulsion tab Pushing or pulling propellers The propellers will pull your craft by default, unlike jet engines. This can be toggled via right click or action group, so you can run the engine in reverse for easier taxiing or landing. You can also set the start state for the propeller inverse setting in the hangar, so your craft while always have the right set up on launch. In the Action Groups editor screen, click an engine, and a small popup window will appear to let you set the start state."

After a few internet searches I'm coming to the realization that there are no dedicated pusher type propellers out there. Does anyone know how I can hack my KSP install or part files to add the 'reverse thrust' feature and make it work?

I came in equatorial and landed at a ground survey site. Then took off on a polar orbit at 90 deg inclination and mapped all of my sites. Various altitude changes to speed up warp, but I still had over 1300 delta v to return home. I had a fourth contract to plant a flag on the mun, but I was so excited by sticking my landing in the dark on a steep slope that I completely forgot about it.

Thanks for the help it should work great!

I've found survey contracts to be a good way to raise cash in .90 (on moderate), but now I've gone and done something sort of rash. I accepted 3 survey contracts on the mun (I need to stay between 10,000m and 12,000m). I've put a lander into orbit with plenty of fuel (3500 delta v) with the intent of surveying all 12 locations with one vehicle. My question is somewhat theoretical, but what orbit type would give me full coverage of the mun? Originally I was thinking a skewed polar orbit would be best, but then I realized the mun doesn't rotate like kerbin allowing for 100% coverage of the planet. I probably do not have enough delta v for 12 separate alignment burns, plus I need to do two ground measurements to complete the contracts.
