Thanks for all the answers! I just decided to cancel the contract anyway, and accept my mistake of taking the contract without reading the fine print. I think it does. For any orbit contract you can go to the tracking station and it will show all the orbits of all contracts even before accepting them. For missions like "take temp measurements at some altitude near location X", there's going to be a waypoint showing location X in the tracking station as well. I can't say for sure, but for stationary orbit missions it probably shows both the orbit and the waypoint. Is it a pain to go to the tracking station to check every mission before accepting it? It is. But the vanilla game certainly offers you the tools for this.

They are. So it is not going to move at all. I tried time warping a couple of years just in case, but as far as I can tell, it didn't move a single degree. It is not just a synchronous orbit, it is a stationary orbit, so I need to be above a specific point on the surface (the waypoint marker on Duna). But that particular spot in the sky is occupied by the moon. If I get close to that orbit/longitude, I get captured by Ike's gravity, and I'm no longer in the designated orbit.

So, I acepted this mission for which I have to put a satellite in a stationary orbit of Duna. I didn't realize that Ike is in a stationary orbit of Duna as well... no problem I can share the orbit as long as I'm not near it. However, the point which I have to be avobe of seems to be occupied by Ike itself. As far as I can tell, there is no way to be on that orbit, above that point and not be in Ike's SOI... So is there a way to complete this mission? I tried landing on Ike, but of course it doesn't count.

Oh my... I feel so dumb. I floated around the ship for like 20 minutes looking for a place to grab on to it and didn't even think of this. Found it and fixed it. Now my kerbals can go back to watching TV thanks to you

I have the mission about repairing a Solar Array on a satellite in orbit of Kerbin. So I flew out there with Bill, who is an engineer and he has 4 repair kits in his inventory. But I don't see how should I repair the solar panel. Do I need to have unlocked the Gigantor XL Solar Array? Does the engineer need a certain XP level to be able to do repairs? No of these are mentioned in the mission parameters so I do not expect any of these to be the issue. BTW, I have no mods. There was an old question about this on the forum, but I read it all and did not find help.
