Foldable relay antenna

[royying]

It is pity that the MK2 cargo bay only can carry the smallest 2G range relay antenna

The largest relay antenna's base width is 1m, make me wonder if those relay antenna are foldable like the "gold umbrella" antenna, it will save a lot of space to allow it fit into MK2 cargo bay.

The sizes of MK2 cargo bay limited the variant of cargo type it can carry, I think we should make it more useful by allow it carry relay antenna

I things some things should remain an actual challenge. If you want to build relay sats, you'll have to accept that they are big and bulky.

I also think suggestions asking to make things easier should be closed immediately. KSP is already a very easy game. If not, things should be made more difficult, so they require some actual engineering and innovative solutions.

the fairings fit the relay antennas, so i really don't care that much....

but the relay antennas are kinda made after the deep space probes antennas, like on the Voyagers and Cassini. the reason that voyager used a unfordable one is because solid ones have further range and range reception due to the fact that the foldable ones are meant to be weak so they can be folded easier, the relays aren't due to them having a longer range.
