Impossible mission

[annikk.exe]

I think I've been given an impossible mission.

The mission is to take gravity readings from 11,900m above Duna's surface in a specific spot.

The problem is that the game won't allow me to take gravity readings in the upper atmosphere, which is everywhere between 41,446m (according to the wiki) and about 5,000m (from experimentation). If I try to take a gravity reading anywhere within this range, the game tells me "Gravity scan can't be done right now."

I'm using the 32 bit version of KSP 0.90.

Nvidia Geforce GTX 680

Hopefully this isn't just me doing the mission wrong.. that would be embarrassing..

This contract is not impossible. In flight does not necessarily mean atmospheric flight, and gravimetric scans can be taken in orbit.

I can confirm, you can do these from orbit, as long as you're above the area

Also, they're contracts, not missions. Some of them actually are impossible (for a long time there was a possibility of a contract to test a launch stability enhancer in orbit, it may have been fixed). Don't accept them, they're scams. The offering agency is trying to trick you to profit from the penalty clause. Likewise, many contracts will lowball their reward offer. Don't accept those. Accept contracts only where you can make a reasonable profit, just like IRL.
