Satellite Network Spacer-out-er

  1. Select your solar system and body.
  2. Enter how many satellites are in your launch bundle.
  3. Enter a target altitude or orbital period for your deployed network. Default is minimum altitude/period.
    • Protip: Geosync orbit has a period of 1 day (days are relative to body rotation).
  4. The results will display deployment orbit.
    1. Launch your bundle to the deployment orbit.
    2. Each periapsis circularize 1 satellite.
    3. Repeat until your out of satellites.
  5. Deorbit your junk.

Being accurate with your orbit time period is far more important than matching altitude exactly. Make sure to compensate for decouplers and adjust your period back after each satelitte stage event. Satellites should be within 0.05sec of desired orbit, use 'Ctrl' + translation thrusters.
*Note: Placement precision near 0 will require a 0' inclination.

    We're back online!

    Spent today moving to a different domain since kerbility.com expired. Cleaned up, consolidated to a single page, and got rid of the ads (you’re welcome). DATAFILE FOR ORBITAL BODIES NOT YET UPDATED!!!! Thats next I promise!

    RSS here... I think.

    So… the “Real Solar System” datafile is built, not super confident about it. Think the math might be off a smidge somewhere. Please test it outside of your normal save file. The time period section definitely seems wonky, so try to keep by altitude until I can work that out. Again, any bugs pl...

    RSS on the way! ...tomorrow

    I’m nearly done with the gathering of body info, by tomorrow night RSS should be fully functional. Next up is antenna signal strength indicator under the results tab(data currently loads but isnt processed), then the rest of the solar systems ones by one. Planning on uploading a KoS script or ...

    Brand new site!

    Nothing really to see here, I’m working on it. In the mean time check out the satellite calculator if you use remotetech. I’m working on RSS/RO support, currently the RSS bodies are just renamed stock bodies. Soon. Adding antenna info right after that. Please, if you find any bugs shoot me an ...
