SCANSAT - cannot complete a "3-star" altimetry scan of Kerbin contract

[Major SNAFU]

I have a probe satellite in a perfect polar orbit of Kerbin, at what is reported by the Altimeter scanner as "optimal" height, but I cannot seem to complete the contract. I am stuck at 94% of a 95% completion criteria. I was at 76% with a slightly non-polar orbit (about 85 degrees vertical) and this increased to 94% when I altered the orbit to a polar one.

I have not yet figured out what is needed to pick up the last percentage point of coverage. With a polar orbit, the probe should eventually cover 100% of Kerbin.

But it have been quite some time with no increase in percentage, so I decided to ask for some ideas.

Thanks,

Try to change your orbital time just a bit (increase/decrease Apoapsis/

Periapsis). The orbital time can become synchronized with the planets rotation, hence the satellite roughly always pass in the same place.

Brilliant. That sorted it. Thanks!
