Control probes

[Llac]

Hello, I'm playing KSP with the realism overhaul mods installed, and the thing is that I was wondering if there is any mod that allows you to control a probe witch has no more antenna conection than a crewed vessel witch has no conection with the earth. For example control a rover on the martian surface from a martian base witch has no connection to the earth.  Thanks in advance!

There is a way to do this with remotetech, you need a station/base with at least 6 kerbals and a special probe core (i don't know which). The remotetech wiki tells you how, or in realism overhaul it might just be any probe core.

RemoteTech it's what are you looking for:

But read carefully what the mod do, because it's a complethe overhaul of the CommNet system.

Yes you can.In specific module you need to add these lines:

MODULE
{
 name = ModuleCommand

 requiresTelemetry = false
 SignalRequired = false
}

With these,you can control your probe without a signal and you need additional module:

MODULE
{
 name = ModuleProbeControlPoint
 minimumCrew = 0 //number of crew required for control
 multiHop = true
}

which will control your probe.

You can do this with MM for specific probe or for all.

Thanks sebi.zzr, I'll try that!
