Keostationary Orbit Question


Recommended Posts

When in an equatorial KSO, how long is your ship in darkness?

I have received a Remote Tech contract (awesome mod) to place a satellite that can communicate with every body in the Kerbol system. The problem is that I have enough antennas to draw 13.85 e/s of electricity. I haven't unlocked the RTG yet so I'm limited to solar panels and fuel cells are out of the question because I'd like to leave the satellite there for a while and actually use it. I'm looking to stick with the stock parts aside the Remote Tech parts and I'm using the Asteroid Day probe core.

I seem to remember hearing that probes don't use power while not in focus but I'd rather be able to plan for enough power to do it legitimately. Edited by Racescort666
