I don't have log files, and I'm not willing to play 200+ hours on my unmodded install to wait for itself to reproduce it, so I'm not posting this under bugs, but as a warning to my fellow kerbonauts. Recently I got a contract to move a satellite into a different orbit. They're usually juicy contracts so as long as you have the DV well worth accepting. So I did. Moved the satellite to a new orbit and... nothing. Of course you start looking at the usual suspects; retrograde, tolerances not narrow enough, etc. Spent a good amount of time really nailing the orbit. Still nothing. Wait... there's a part requirement? My satellite is missing a part that wasn't included in the original contract, but the move satellite to new orbit contract requested it (if I remember correctly, a goo container). So apparently this can happen. Lesson learned: when accepting a contract to move a satellite into a new orbit, make sure you have all the required parts on board. Just because it's a contract based on an existing satellite doesn't mean you do.
