ISA Mapsat Ideal and Non-Ideal Altitudes

[Pecan]

This thread was last posted to in September. The ISA mod is no longer supported either (although it still works AFAIK). You might like to check SCANSat as an alternative.

I can't be the only one wondering if these altitudes & inclinations work with SCANSat?

Welcome to the forum!

Try this one for SCANsat:

Did not test it myself however.

I tend to do two mapping sections. One with a very high inclination (85+) to cover the pole and another once the pole is filled up at under 70 degrees which covers the rest of the globe more completely.

It uses a bit of fuel but that`s OK in my games..

Thanks! That's perfect!

If you right click the SCANSat parts in the VAB it will tell you min, max and best altitudes

How does one set the orbital period? I understand what it is but I cannot figure out how on Kerbin set it to an orbit? For instance if I have a satellite at 300km altitude polar orbit, what is the 0.8hours bit?
