Possible bug with satellite contracts?

[pearldrumbum]

I just started getting a weird bug with satellite contracts. The target orbit does not appear in map view after I've accepted the contract, but it does appear if I look at it through the tracking station. The weird thing is I've already complete 2 satellite contracts and everything was working fine, and now suddenly it isn't.

I'm on 1.0.2 and no mods.

Anybody else notice this?

This just happened to me. I have 1.0.2, 64 bit on windows 7, steam, no mods. I accepted a solar orbit satellite contract. I saw the orbit guide in the tracking center. I built the satellite/rocket and put it on the launch pad, and when i zoomed out to map, the guide was gone. Tried to restart game, move in and out of tracking station, restart the launch. My persistent and quicksave are after it happened, and previous game save was before last mission and i don't want to do that one over again, so i have to contract the solar satellite mission and take a loss in funds.

I figured it out. In my case it was user error. If the contract has an orbit around a body other than Kerbin you have to double click that body to focus on it and it will show. The orbits it's showing in at the tracking station include contracts you haven't accepted yet.

Try double clicking on the sun to shift focus there and see if it shows the target orbit

that seemed to be the trick
