RemoteTech + Keosynchronous Orbits


Recommended Posts

TL;DR: I have one sat stationary above the KSC. If, looking "down" at Kerbins north pole, that KSC sat is "east," how do I position the three other sats at North, West, and South?

Hey all,

So, obviously, I'm using RemoteTech and attempting to establish keosynchronous orbits. I understand how RemoteTech works and I'm able to get the orbit. My problem is the spacing between my comm sats. Assume I want a four-point network around whichever body I'm working with. How do manage my timing to ensure there are ~90 degrees between each of my sats? Note that I do NOT want to do too much changing of the orbits after the apokee is reached(meaning I don't wish to move it to a smaller orbit, time accelerate until it is in position, then put it back).

Thanks

P.S. In hyperedit, is there a field which lets me change the position of a ship in its orbit without changing the orbit itself? What is the technical term for the point in an orbit an object currently occupies or is there one?

Damn...this should be in How-To. Any mods to fix my stupidity?
