Attaching a part to an aging satellite?

[Rylant]

So I have tried versions of this contract now several times, but it never seems to work. The first time I did it, I never noticed it didn’t complete until after I landed. I just assumed I had done something wrong. Tried it a few times now, and I can’t get it to complete no matter what I do. 
 

Anybody else have this issue or am I doing something wrong?

Yeah, those contracts and the finish construction of a rover ones are bugged.  the ID of the vessel the contract asks for doesn't match the one the game creates.  Alt-f12 and complete the contract through that, or edit your save file to fix the contract.

KML can detect and fix broken contracts, far easier than editing your save manually.

I wouldn't even bother doing that.  Whenever I get a bugged contract, like the aging satellite contract mentioned (I've had one of those and it didn't work), I just complete it with the F12 menu.  As long as I know that I have fulfilled all the contract requirements, then I wouldn't consider it cheating.
