When asked to test different pieces of equipment under different conditions, it seems that most of the time you have to activate the equipment through the staging tree when the conditions are met.

However, I can't seem to get the "Orbit" condition to light up. For instance, I have been asked to test the radial rockets in orbit at an altitude of 72700-74500 meters. I am in orbit with a Periapsis of 73000m and an Apoapsis of 68000m.

Do I have to be in a circular orbit with Ap/Pe between 72700m and 74500m? I've reverted this flight several times and I can't ever seem to get credit for the test.

Thanks!

Try a periapsis above 70km. If the periapsis is below 70, it's in the atmosphere so the game doesn't count it as in "orbit".

Further, by definition your periapsis isn't higher than your apoapsis.

Duuuude... he redefined the physics!

Yup, raising my Pe above 70km worked.

Much obliged!
