Ah I thought you needed to use both the Pe and Ap, thanks for clearing things up. Also handy that there are delta v stats showing how much delta v is needed for lowering and making it a higher orbit.

DP-10 range is WAY too small for relay use... Have you looked at the Visual RT Planner site that both I & Alshain have posted? The main window shows pink circles, representing the range coverage of selected antennas... You'll see the DP-10 is only good for (relatively) very short distances... Sorry, I cant really answer about necessary dV right now... I'm too lazy to do dV calcs, or even to use KER for it... So I typically over-build my craft a bit, as far as fuel & propulsion... I usually tweak them as needed once I've launched a couple of times, and see how far my 1st setup gets me, and/or how much fuel is left over, or too short... So 4 satellites with comm 16 and a dp 10 need to be launched at equal distances right? To space it evenly I could have an orbit of 250 km and 500 km and then let the probes circularize to 500 km after reaching Periaps each time with the main ship, right?

What about using the DP-10 for a relay system? Also how much Delta V is needed to do method #1 of step three in a 1000 km orbit for four satellites?

Ok, after a daring mun flyby piloted by Jeb I got enough science to research the DP-10. This is my plan of launching a relay system in LKO (please correct me if I'm doing stuff wrong): 1. Have a manned ship with 4 satellite probes which have a small fuel tank and a terrier engine (smallest I have) (turns out it became a pretty big structure, it will never be able to fly properly any other tips for this?) 2. Bring manned ship to altitude of 100 km by 150 km 3. Each time I reach the periaps with my main ship I'll release a probe which will then circularize the orbit to 150 peri and 150 km apo. (4x) Will this create an evenly spaced relay system?

So you don't need a relay system if you want to go to the mun or to minmus right? Also, how do I evenly space out satellites in space?

I think I get it, but what does a rover with dishes add? ps. The launch of my manned KEO probe was a pain and Jeb nearly died... pps. I need 30 more science for the DP-10: Poor kerbals...

The problem is I cant even active the antennas on the launchpad.

Do dishes count as antennas? If so, it says 'no connection to send command on.' when I try to activate them...

My probe in KEO has a dish pointed towards KSC and the probe I want to launch. When I try to activate the dish/antenna on the probe I want to launch it says 'no connection to send command on.' Is it normal to have no connection on the launchpad? The network at 1000 km will be enough to send probes to minmus right?

The probe I want to launch has no connection on the launchpad, that's why I thought they needed to be in a KEO.

So, I got remote tech today and I'm not quite sure how everything still works. Here is my question: I put probe with 2 Reflecton KR-7 (range of 90 Mm) and one communotron 16 (first comm) in a geostationary orbit just above the KSC. One comm is pointing towards the KSC and the other towards the Probe I want to launch. Though the probe I want to launch has no connection how do I fix this? http://imgur.com/a/2E8XL Pictures ^^^

So I'm new to remotetech and I'm playing on career normal settings. While I was in a high elliptical orbit (71,000 and 200,000) I only had a couple of hundred delta V left and decided to send the data I got from my experiments but when I tried to send it, it said that I didn't have a transmitter though I did have a comms DTS M-1 onboard. I do not have a relay system yet. Do I need a special antenna for transmitting data or do I need a relay system?

I totaly underestimated EU4: I'll capture a province and they'll stay happen right...RIGHT?! Oh look a province wants to be independent oh look all my provinces want to be indepented and have a strong resistance...

I guess you mean finish highschool, this year I need to choose a general direction. I think I'll go towards biology with german as forgein language and history as an extra subject (it's not really extra since everyone needs an extra subject which isn't in their "main subjects"). Though I'd like to do physics I'm really not good at it. Nor do I want to go towards the art 'section'. So I'll go for biology: neuroscience looks interesting but I'm also kind of interested in artificial learning (like self learning robots which may become smarter than humans some day). But it's not like I'm the greatest in biology so I'll need to do my best. Though I'm not sure what I'd want to study.

No, I am currently in my 4th year of highschool, do you need to learn latin/greek (greek is a pain to study for!) for your studies or is it just purely for historical studies? I found an interesting youtube channel which covers Roman war strategies in depth, I'll check if I can find it for you. Edit: I found it, it's called Historia Civilis http://youtu.be/3iz1_UwD2Fw

In the first year of highschool I was interested in ancient history like Romans and Aztecs but now I'm way more interested in the 20th century (ww1 ww2 cold war etc etc...) yet I kind of dispised modern history when I was in my first year. And though I like Physics it's so hard here.

So I was pretty disapointed that I missed the SpaceX landing and I've looked across the web for upcoming events, though I couldn't find a lot about spaceflight (like the spaceX landing)/ astronomy events. Could anyone give some things to look forward to in 2016?
