![]() Those polar orbit sats (you really only need 2 with that many dishes on each) connect to everything outside of antenna reach. Those same sats use their 2 dishes to connect to the larger polar orbit sats. That long range sat is what I use to reach kerbol orbit and other planet orbit instruments.īroken down, my first sats, those you have, use their antennas to connect to each other, to the base, and to launching craft. I point the broad range at the planet and point one of those 2 dishes on my first set (the ones you have pictured above) at this larger orbiting sat. Those satellites can have up to 8 dishes.Two broad range like you have on these sats, and the rest long range Duna+. I then put a satellite or two in a much bigger, polar orbit. I point the broad range at the planet so it encompasses every smaller orbit satellite that will connect to it and point one of those 2 dishes on my first set (the ones you have pictured above) at this larger orbiting sat. Those satellites can have up to 8 dishes.Two broad, wide range like you have on these sats, and the rest long range Duna+. Their long-range antenna deal with things in close orbit (in fact, I have about 6 sats and have them connect to each other via antenna vs dish as you seem to have done). I have my 4+ satellites in whatever horizontal orbit. I just don't understand what problem you are facing exactly so I will tell you how I setup my system. Don't think of this as me telling you what to do. So what I do to make connectivity to other satellites is very similar to yours. ![]() With Omni's, even in the Kerbin system, sometimes I find the connection drops or I just plain get one even though I should be. ![]() Something I've noticed is that the only reliable way to keep a connection is to keep direct connections going, with dishes on both my target and my Kerbin sats pointed at each other. ![]() So with what I'm doing in the Duna system, the only time I lose connection is either when Kerbin or Duna blocks the connection (which typically isn't an issue as I have a sat constellation going on Duna as well as a backup sat in Kerbin orbit that's nearly always on the opposite side of my main polar sat) or when the sun does, which I haven't actually run into yet. Essentially by doing that it allows me to have a sattelite that's always connected to one of the geosync'd sats but also allows almost constant connection with anything anywhere in the rest of the solar system. Then, I create polar satellites in very, very high orbits that I use to connect to anything outside of the Omni's range. (I actually modded myself in a modded Omni that was basically twice the weight and twice the power draw of the most powerful one currently, so that I could have it reach the outskirts of the Kerbin system) What I've been doing for my mission to Duna, though its probably not the most efficient in terms of active flight numbers, is to have the basic 3-sat constellation going in geosynchronous, with omni-antennas for anything in the Kerbin System.
