You can only set a spacecraft into Geo-stationary orbit if said spacecraft is at the equator of Kerbin. Geo-stationary means matching the speed of your orbit to the rotation of the planet so your spacecraft always point at the same location. I did something similar as you plan and what I did was set 4 satellites in a half Geo-stationary orbit (could have used only 3) and then sent a "main" relay satellite in polar circular orbit that can communicate with any available satellites around Kerbin and with a super-long range antenna for interplanetary missions. If you use Large antennas on every satellites with this method, your "satellite tower" wont always communicate with your Geo-stationary ones, but it will when you are over either poles and the antennas will take care of the relay of the ones in your blind spot. Hope this helped you.

Thank you all for the answers, finally, I think I'll need to use a "thug" and de-orbit some modules and rethink them to include lights properly since I want the station to be a no-mods/no edit build. The main reason I wanted to try to include light probes in a static orbit around the station was to to be able to light the entire station with the same number of lights, even as I add modules to it. I could always use the light probe design for screenshot purpose only as I could detach the probes, place them temporary, take a good screenshot and then dock them back to the main station.

Hello, I am currently constructing a space station around Kerbin and had an idea to light it entirely without hampering my CPU performances too much, however, I do not know if it is even possible. The idea I had (and failed to properly implement) was to have some basic probes attached to one of the station component. Probes would be made of: - 1 basic probe body - 2 solar panel - 1 battery - 1 xenon tank - 1 xenon propulsion device - 1 large lamp From there, I would attach the section to the main station and then lunch the "light probes" separately to light the station from a short distance. --> However, after several attempts to stabilize the probes, they would always drift and would be out of reach of the main station after about 2 full kerbin revolutions. I would like to know if it would be possible to completely stabilize, even if it would be REALLY hard, the orbit of those probes around the main station or if the slight difference in distance would modify the orbit just enough to make this impossible? Thanks in advance for the answers.
