Hello fellow KSP folks! I'm hoping the kind souls in this community can help me avoid actual maths as I plan to launch a mega-relay network in the Kerbol system. Here is my (probably well-overbuilt) CommNet relay / direct communications probe: My main question: How much signal power will I realistically be getting? Can I guess-timate this without actually doing the math work here or here. Specs: 9x RA-100 = 100G x 9 = 900G 4x Communotron 88-88 (Tweakscaled to 220% because, aesthetics) = 484G x 4 = 1,936G 1x RC-01S = 5K My goal is to have six of these orbiting around Kerbol at a decent distance to cover the entire solar system. I'm playing with the Outer Planets mod, so I've got to get signal all the way out to Neidon and maybe even Plock. Appreciate all your help! (Also moderators, please if this question/topic is not in the correct forum, please go ahead and put this in the right place.)

I had been trying to to do this. I wanted a network of relay communications satellites so i could use unmanned vessels. As you know, you need a satellite network like this so the unmanned vessels always have communications with Kerbin. Anyway I also wanted the network of satellites evenly spaced out in their orbit. I couldn't find any tutorials on this that explained the math so I went ahead and derived the math myself and made a tutorial video for the community at large. So Enjoy- 5 replies
