Completely unmanned comsat constellations aroud Kerbin and the Mun!

Link to a small album of images of said satellites.

Now I can send unmanned probes to the dark side of the Mun, as the 3 Mun comsats provide constant coverage over the majority of the Mun\'s surface. Eventually I will set up a Mun base (bace) with the 0.14.2 release, and then set up a Mun-centric network for colony work probes and rovers. After that, I hope to establish 2 more in Kerbol-orbit so I have constant coverage during outer-system probe missions.

Just a heads up, there\'s a ~1 second delay when landing probes on the Mun, so it may take awhile to get the hang of unmanned missions.

Special thanks to The_Duck for this awesome plugin, and to Nova, whose parts I modified to work with The_Duck\'s scripts.

Looks neat. Though what plugin from The_duck did you use and in what way did you modify it out of curiosity? When I tried attaching a MechJeb to my unmanned satellites, they handled like a river barge instead of a standard command capsule

This one-it allows for launching of completely unmanned probes, which need to be in contact with the space centre to be controllable, either through direct line of site or comsats; it even includes lag in commands over long distances.

Exactly, and the config modifications are copy/pasting the parameters at the bottom of the condemned command module\'s config file, to the bottom of whatever other CM you want to use, and then changing its 'module = CommandPod' to 'module = ARRemotePod' (which I did to Nova\'s Probodobodyne command cores).

Awesome, can\'t believe I missed it over there
