Sattelites have low kerbin orbit, But just magically loose orbit?


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this is because it's loosing power. (Shoulden't be i have rechargable battery banks and batteries solar panels and photovatic panels forgot the name of the photovatic) But ALL of my sattelites i've made would just magically loose orbit and start re-entering kerbin. My kethane sattelite i had when i installed the kethane mod it had scanned almost all of kerbin (Not even close) But then magically i go to space center and hit fly, And...it magically starts falling down back into kerbin's atmosphere. All of my ships are ALWAYS in low kerbin orbit. (I've gotten kinda good at the stable orbiting) Stable orbit and low orbit around kerbin, It starts re-entering. Then soon enough its crashed, All my work turned to debris. I coulden't catch some screenshots, But it's random. But i think you should get what im saying without pictures. In other words its: Going in space then going back to kerbin. ;.;

I think, I may have mis-looked, I'll send up another sattelite and see if it is and see what happens.

EDIT: Yes i am sure my periapsis was 70km I did it again and the same happened.

Need more info!

What do you consider to be low orbit? Anything 69km or lower and you're getting drag from the atmosphere.

And what do you mean 'magically i go to space center and hit fly'. How exactly did you get to what you consider a stable orbit?

No you know what? Screenshots. And list of any and all mods.
