Apparently I must perform an orbital survey after my orbital survey...

Trying out the ore scanners for the first time today on a game with no mods. My understanding was that you deployed an M700 scanner to a planet, analyzed and transmitted via antenna, then could forever view that data from the tracking station.

I built a satellite to do such, flew it to Mun, analyzed it and received the green text reporting it was received and saying Science was added, woo'd at the pretty pink, then dropped it on the surface for giggles. Deployed another to Minmus, analyzed, then decided to check my data.

I can only access the scan data via the scanner itself: the tracking station says I need to perform an orbital scan but flying the satellite will allow me to turn on and adjust the overlay. Thus, I no longer have access to my Mun scan. Is something broken or did I do it wrong?

In map view, focus on the Mun. Click the bottom of the three buttons over on the right side of the screen. Click 'Ore' to see the abundance display.

Happy landings!

I can do that, but...

the tracking station says I need to perform an orbital scan

No can data shows up unless I'm flying the scanning satellite itself and in the regular map view. The tracking station says no data is available and that I need to perform an orbital scan. Which I supposedly have already done, using an M700 scanner and an antenna.

So, if that's really all you need to do, I guess it's a bug.

Stable polar orbit between 25k and 100k. Lots of electricity. Open scanner. Click button over and over. NOthing.

Oh, and it'll tell me when the conditions aren't met, no antenna, etc, but when I meet all the conditions, nothing.
