So I just launched a new satellite into low orbit, electrics were fine, 1x6 solar panels were extended. And then when I tried to transmit seismic data and temperature data the power got sucked out immidietly out of the batteries, and the main problem is they dont recharge. I cheked the solar panels and they dont produce power even though they are almost pointing directly at the sun.
Theres two 1x6 non retractible solar panels (small update - its OX-4L 1x6) and four small (I believe that these are the smallest static panels availible in the vanilla game - update - its OX-STAT), and one of these panels is pointing directly at the sun and produces no power.
Now I dont know what to do and Idk if I should just launch another satellite or wait for.... a miracle?!
Also how do I get the satellite to point at earth with its anteni without using SAS and not going for a geostationary orbit?
UPDATE!!! - I ADDED MORE SCREENSHOTS WHICH SHOW THE PANEL ALLIGNED TO THE SUN. STILL NO BATTERY FLOW
