How do I get into Geostationary orbit with hyperedit?

[Bob_Fargo]

Every time I try to do it I get the first satellite in place and the second one that I try to do When I set the altitude it spawns right inside the other satellite and explodes. Is there a way to do it right. Am I doing something wrong? Can you pros help me please still learning everything.

The eas way to prevent this would be to use the rendezvous function. Don't have Hyperedit at hand so I can't give perfect instructions, but you select "rendezvous" mode, pick the already-in-place satellite as target, and enter a lead time as it suits you. The default 0.5 seconds is generous for collision avoidance. You can set up constellations by entering the right lead time.

You have to give the other satellite time to move on. You don't want them all bunched up on each other anyways; kind of defeats the whole point.

Also; not to judge but...maybe you should try doing it without Hyperedit? Not much point in "cheating" satellites into place, you might as well just turn off the signal requirement in your game options, cheat the ship where it's going and call it a day if that's what you are gonna do.

If this is about precision; don't worry about it; KSP is just a game, you don't need pixel perfect satellite set ups. I literally just toss mine into a roughly geo-synchronous orbit and call it good enough. Never had an issue.

while I just toss mine, roughly spaced, in orbit. And other yet just toss theirs in orbit.  Redundancy cover most of the gap left by the lower precision and a bit of planning and luck cover the rest.

Alter the mean anomaly at epoch.  That's the variable that tells us where a satellite is in its orbit, it's mean anomaly, at the specified epoch.  Mean anomaly is measured in radians, where 360 degrees = 2*pi radians.  So let's say you want to space four satellites out 90 degrees apart, place them at mean anomalies of 0, 1.5708, 3.1416 and 4.7124, making sure the epoch is the same for each.
