m5o5 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I need a mod that introduces satellites for a possible movie I\'m making.It needs to not be over complicated and not got far from being stock (meaning that if it can give you a back massage while serving you coffee, it\'s not the mod for me)But it needs to be able to do things like aim its solar pannels at kerbol and/or point at the nearst planet.any suggestions?

sss Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Novapunch.however But it needs to be able to do things like aim its solar pannels at kerbol and/or point at the nearst planet.I\'ve never seen that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m5o5 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 I did see one that did that in a youtube vid, I think it was called power-sat or somthing, but I have been unable to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Aerospace Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Powersat. Look under 'Plugin powered Addons'. If you want them for a space station, I highly recommend the Kosmos pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadoworgon Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 also look for the dynasat satellites, they automatically (when deployed) will put out solar panels and turn to track the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Me Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I make satellites from random parts (pod as computer). Solar panels come from Ceres MPCV. Download: http://www./?ru86t354xbj9ba1 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBicycle Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 PowerSat. Enough said. It doesn\'t even need a decoupler. Bring it up, click on it in the 3d view (or rightclick? don\'t remember), and choose Deploy. Make sure to back up from it afterwards. It does the rest by itself.Personally, I am now in process of setting up a sat network of powersats to use with SatelliteRelays_v0_5.zip. My first installment is a 450km equatorial orbit (which takes 1 hour to complete), with 20 minutes between launches (rather one or two hours and 20 minutes). Going to put 3 sats on a triangle, to give me coverage for the planned unmanned (remote-controlled through the sats) mission to set up a similar system on Mun. Then there will be time for unmanned Mun base landings, and then a manned mission, so that my kerbals find the showers and zoke vending machines all ready on the Mun when they arrive : )Also see my post at http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=14762.msg223160#msg223160, where I discuss a few mods to keep oneself busy.

Markus Reese Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I used the powertech stuff myself as well. Straight up deploy sat, it unfolds and done. If you want more fancy stuff, can use the novapunch satellites. Look up dynasat as well for some more variety, and a module that works with powertech so you can make your own or combine with other stuff.

RangerDanger75 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 For a satellite that points at Kerbin or a moon, try the mapping plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolee1868 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Can\'t wait to figure out the satellite mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPwner Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Also try probodobodyne from Silisko Industries, which has parts you can make a satellite with.I use it in combination with dynasat/powertech for the panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
