are telescopes planned?

[Kerbal410]

if space telescopes are coming, would it be more like the Sentinel, Spitzer, Euclid, Roman, Hubble, Webb, or Kepler? I know most of these are similar, but just want to get an idea of what to build if one comes.

The plan was to have telescopes to discover planets around other stars. But where is that plan now, nobody knows. We'll find out in 0.4

that rules out the Sentinel I guess.

has anything been said about surface scanning?

I wouldn't say that, asteroids are in the works as well.

We know of deep surface scanners for resources, judging by the size, ones you put on the ground, but I bet there will be some sort of recon part to get a rough data from orbit, like in KSP1.

Most of what's been said is in clickable TOTY2021 picture in my signature if you're looking for more info. Treat it with a spoon of salt because plans can change.

I'd like a Space Telescope to unlock other systems. That's still a ways off, but it'd be a way to keep the 'progression' that they're tying into missions.

Beining able to scan for recources and create temperature map (cooling colony) to determine were to build a base is very much needed. So I hope
