Unable to finish contract

[EtherDragon]

I have created an unmanned probe and sent it into an orbit that matches the desired criteria. The orbit is stable, and has sat for much more than ten seconds. The probe has a battery with plenty of power and a Communitron attached. All conditions are met, yet the contract will not complete.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what's a video worth?

It's not really made properly clear, but by "power", contracts mean that it has to be replenishable in some manner, either with an onboard RTG electric generator, or (far more commonly) solar panels.

Ok, then I will modify the bug report - these contracts shouldn't become available at all unless a node with solar power is unlocked.

It is a known bug/design flaw.

Launch Stability Enhancers provide power (to keep a probe core alive while warping on the launchpad) and therefore open up these contracts.
