Deep Dish Communication Satellite
Mass: 245.470
Cost: 80,513
Class: Communication Satellite
Crew: None
With the right Asteroid scanner set up for Kerbin, the last thing on the checklist was a Long Range ‘Deep Dish’ Communication Satellite.
This now orbits Kerbin in a polar orbit close to the same distance as our Geo Sat’s 2,885KM
Polar Mun Com
Mass: 73.144
Cost: 32,295
Class: Communication Satellite
Crew: None
This mission was an attempt to knock out the last few active contracts we have, make a couple bucks and take some obligations of the shoulders of S.S.A.
We were able to do it insanely cheap, and now we have some extra bandwidth around the Mun.
Geosat Delivery System
Mass: 49.922
Cost: 33,651
Class: Satellite Deployment System
Crew: None
When planning for unkerbal’d missions one must maintain almost constant contact with the probe in question. These two new geosynchronous com sats will hopefully help us in that department, and hey it was cheap.
Communication Satellite Charlie
Mass: 60.083
Cost: 35,598
Class: Communication Satellite
Crew: None
With the Mun base operational we needed a decent way of sending and receiving information from the surface. This somewhat inexpensive x3 dish com sat does the job.
Communication Satellite Beta
Mass: 45.534
Cost: 27,258
Class: Communications Satellite
Crew: None
We need better communication for our unmanned ships and science experiments. We are looking to make the best and cheapest product possible.
This com sat comes with 3 2.0G Relay Dishes and has enough fuel to end up in any orbit around Kebin. Possibly even the Mun, future launches will let us know if that’s possible.
It’s got our best tech on it and will help us set up the future Mun base successfully.
