(This is my first time posting here, so I don't even know if I'm in the right place)
So,
I have a probe orbiting Jool with 4 smaller probes attached that I intend to send to some of Jool's moons. One problem: I'm not sure if my relay system will work, after reviewing some parts.
On the probe "mothership" of sorts, I have a communitron 88-88, which can get signal back to KSC without a hitch. BUT on my 4 smaller probes, I have smaller antennas that I was going to use to relay to the mothership probe, and then back to KSC. However, I have noticed that the communitron 88-88 is a "Direct" antenna rather than a "Relay" antenna as some of the other dishes are. Does this mean that I won't be able to relay using the antenna? Or can I still establish a connection?
Thanks for any help!
