Munar Relay Network Not Connecting to KSC


Recommended Posts

I have a (crappy but functional) relay network in orbit around the Mun to ensure that a base on the Munar surface can transmit back to Kerbin but the base is not connecting to the relays. It is instead waiting for my polar relay to come in to transmittable distance. Does anybody know what might be the problem? 

Here is my CommNet network as seen from my Mun base (you can see there is no connection in my CommNet info):

And here is one of my Munar relays:

Welcome to the forums :)

The issue is that your relay satellites... are not actually relay satellites.

The DTS-M1 is a direct antenna, which cannot receive and forward other signals. The part rightclick info in the editor shows this, albeit just as a single innocuous line.

Refer to this table for a quick overview of what antennas can relay. As a rule of thumb, relay-capable antennas are always heavier and higher-priced for the same perfomance.

Oh no! That's a really silly mistake on my part. Well it'll at least give me a chance to get my triangle network set up right on the second try. Thanks for the help and antenna table, I've been scratching my head on this for a few hours.
