Sounds like someone may be a ham radio operator maybe?

Ok your playing on RT1, the comm lines are only available in the very alpha RT2

RT1 or RT2?

Well anyways, I'm still looking forward till the release of RT2 looks a million times better.

Very nice! Will these functional like parachutes as the old ones did?

And what i did is one sat dedicated to one thing. and requiring two for each

It was mainly just a proof of concept, I sent a probe out to Eeloo with two relays (one on each side) and I didn't get any lost signal. I was trying to figure out how many sats would be required. I think in the future it is just going to be two sats out in the 12 hour orbit with 36 dishes each.

This was just a test, each sat actually included two antennas and a long range dish, the gps had the two antennas and a long range dish, the interplantery had an interplanet dish and the two antennas. One was the stock antenna and the other was the 8Mm one. For the final version I will most likely redesign the sat I used.

Thats with a ancient computer, I was setting it up with Hyperedit so that when RT2 is actually released I would have the numbers needed. I wanted to replicate the Iridium Sat Phone network, but after this I'm left with very little frames

Think I'm going to lose coverage? The inside 55 degree orbit is my GPS The outside 6 Geos which are the normal setup And then the outside is a 36 constellation for interplantery. The orbit period are 3, 6, and 12 hours respectivly All the antenna Lines

KWRocketry?

Repost: I just love the Line of sight indicators on all the CommSats Makes it so easy to lose a Planet!

I'm testing to see if it is going to murder my 2007 computer or not... It already is.

I found that for what I am doing, I can do radians (oh no not geometry), and those are the MNA, I honestly thought there would be a more complex formula behind it...

What I was doing before was hyperediting everything into orbit, thats why I wanted to know the MNA. Thanks, i'll try and give this a go, don't know how well it will go though.

and I do this for all 30 sats in that orbit?

To space all the sats evenly in the orbit

I just love the Line of sight indicators on all the CommSats Makes it so easy to lose a Planet! Why are my pictures not showing?

And this concludes I can't do math... Now for the hard part (?) figuring out the Mean Epoch for 30 sats evenly spaced in a single orbit plane... Any idea on how to do this?

One of the times its ok to use Hyperedit, when I punch in 1476.7k I get an orbit period of 2:46:45.9s Edit: After Playing if the Hyperedit SMA for a whiel, I got an SMA with the orbit exactly 1:40:00.0s (100 minutes)

So if the real world orbit was 100 minutes, I would have an orbital altitude (from the center of kerbin) of 1.4767e+3 kilometers? 5.2915793e22kg used for mass of kerbin Upon further conversions I get a final orbit of 1476.7km...

Thanks, just saved me three hours work at least, but I was hoping to find the orbital period converting it from the real world to KSP...

The moons of other planets, makes it 16x2.

So when remotetech2 comes out, I get to do; 1.) Six GKOs 2.) a GPS Network (24 sats, six orbital planes with four satellites each; 9 visible anywhere at anytime) 3.) Interplantery (32 sats LAN Seperation of 11.25) 4.) If I can figure out the orbital parameters, the iridium network. (The constellation of 66 active satellites has 6 orbital planes spaced 30 degrees apart, with 11 satellites in each plane; Satellites are in low Earth orbit at a height of approximately 485 mi (781 km) and inclination of 86.4) Edit: Is this formula true? "Orbital periods and speeds are calculated using the relations 4À²R³ = T²GM and V²R = GM, where R = radius of orbit in metres, T = orbital period in seconds, V = orbital speed in m/s, G = gravitational constant ≈ 6.673×10−11 Nm²/kg², M = mass of Earth ≈ 5.98×1024 kg." if it is could someone figure out the orbital period for KSP?

Thanks, my most complicated networks so far have been the real world GPS network and 6 GKO sats, I will try and give the interplanetary one a try once RT2 comes out, I never really figured out how to have a completely reliable one for Interplanetary.
