Hi guys, I'm new to the game and I'm having this problem.
I'm trying to land a probe (using the first core, stayputnik?) on the mun but it is eventually occluded by the mun itself and I lose control over it. I thought the obvious: "let's place a satellite high on mun's orbit and relay the signal to control the landing probe".
That's what I did: my satellite is carrying the HG-5 relay antenna and is at a fairly high concentric orbit, around 2Mm.
Nice, now we get to the problem: when the landing probe (it is carrying no antenna) gets occluded by the mun, after losing contact with Kerbin it doesn't connect to the satellite to relay its signal. The satellite is on the same side of the mun as the probe and has full signal from Kerbin.
Any clues?
