This is an in-game version of ryohpops 's online Remote Tech Planner avabile here : http://ryohpops.github.io/kspRemoteTechPlanner/

and more upcoming features.

This tool / information panel is made mostly for Remote Tech users , it helps to plan your satellite network over a selected planet/moon

at this moment it supports only 1 equatorial orbit (all satellites need to be on the same orbit).

Current Version : 0.1

The window is togglable from the ksp stock toolbar ( a small calculator icon)

Javascript is disabled. View full album

SOL (Satellite orbital lunch) : It provides multiple informations about the desired orbit.

Is communication possible : "Yes" if the signal between satellites it's not obstructed by the orbited Planet , "No" and in

parentheses the minimum altitude for communication possibility.

Start dV: your current dV and in parentheses your current altitude , dV is calculated according to the current altitude

The rest of the informations can be interpreted easily

How to use the offered informations :

Step 1 (First launch):

- Achieve with MechJeb or Manual control an equatorial circular orbit at the desired altitude.

- Launch the next satellite and follow from from Step 2.

Step 2 (From second launch) :

- Achieve an equatorial orbit ( lower than your desired altitude , in Kerbin's case somewhere around 80-90 km)

- Fill in the input informations if you don't already did , and press again the "Update" button , this is necessary because some of the data is depending on your current altitude.

Step 3 (MechJeb users):

- Target the already launched satellite, open Maneuver Planner and create (do not execute) hohmann transfer.

- Open Maneuver Editor and put Slide time in the Delta-V view into Shift time.

- Push + at Shift time and check intersection pointer is shifted properly.

- Execute node and do circularize at designated altitude.

- Adjust orbital period of the new satellites to the showed one in the information panel.

Step 3 (manual control users):

- Target the satellite which is at the first spot of your satellite chain.

- Create a maneuver node to perform hohmann transfer.

- Slide the node forward by Slide angle or Slide time in the Delta-v view, and check intersection pointer is shifted properly.

- Execute node and do circularize at designated altitude.

I like your work cuz it´s save me the exel work but i found that i need to calculate the eleptical orbit to spreed the sat evently. I use péri of transfert =2*((t orbite circ in sec*(1-1/nb of sat)/2pi)^2*mu)^1/3 -(2*radius +alt circ in m)

For géostationnary orbit at kerbin : torbite circ = 21600, nb or sat= 6, mu=3,5316*10^12, radius=600000, alt circ =2868750,7 and it give me péri = 2074745

Keep the website update if u can, some like me use it more than a mod.
