After the success of the shuttle program, the Kerbals decided to have communications all over the Kerbin system. So, they decided to put multiple comsats up into LKO, Munar orbit, and Minmus orbit.
 
  
== Specifications ==
 
*Length: 5-10 hours
 
*Difficulty: 5/10 (Adept)
 
*Skills Needed:
 
#Intermediate(+) navigation via [[maneuver node]]
 
#Advanced [[orbit|orbiting]]
 
#Intermediate understanding of [[w:launch window|launch windows]]
 
#Advanced understanding of [[Tutorial: Orbital Docking with the Kergena Target Vehicle|intercepts/rendezvous]]
 
#Basic [[docking]]
 
#Ability to complete [[campaign: Kerbinai Program|Kerbinai Program]]
 
#Ability to complete [[campaign: Mun Race|Mun Race]]
 
*For version: 0.18 and beyond
 
 
== The Goal ==
 
The goal of these missions are to survey [[Kerbin]], [[Mun]] and [[Minmus]]. You will have 5 in [[LKO]], and up to 10 at each moon.
 
 
== COMSAT 1-5 ==
 
*Design a [[probe]], it must have electric storage, an unmanned probe body, a [[Communotron 88-88]], and up to 4 [[Communotron 16]]s.
 
*Launch a [[rocket]] to get this into LKO above the [[atmosphere]].
 
*Name each [[craft]] COMSAT[mission number] (i.e. COMSAT3)
 
*Have 5 of these in LKO.
 
*Photograph ([[controls|screenshot]]) 3 different pictures of Kerbin, and one of 2 of the COMSATs coming close to each other.
 
*If using the modded approach, you may want to use the Space Shuttle to launch these satellites.
 
 
== Munar Orbital Observatory 1-10 ==
 
*Design another [[probe]], this one must have a probe body, electricity, any communication device, one [[science]] experiment, and a [[docking port]] for later service.
 
*Get up to ten of these into [[orbit]] around the [[Mun]].
 
*Photograph (screenshot) 4 shots of the Mun, and 2 MOOs coming close to each other.
 
*Dock a crewed capsule to one of them.
 
 
== Minmus Close Contact Probe ==
 
*Design a probe similar to the MOOs, but this time with 2 docking ports.
 
*Get up to ten of these into low orbit around [[Minmus]].
 
*Photograph (screenshot) 4 shots of Minmus, and one of 2 of the probes docked.
 
 
== Lost Contact ==
 
*[[KSC]] has lost contact with one of the MOOs, and you need to send a crewed [[vessel]] to repair it.
 
*Launch 3 kerbals to the [[Mun]], and dock with one of the MOOs
 
*[[EVA]] 2 of the [[kerbal]]s, and touchdown one kerbal on the MOO
 
*Put both kerbals back in the ship, and get them home safely.
 
 
== Retrieval ==
 
COMSAT 1 has broken down, and needs to be brought back to Kerbin for repairs.
 
#Launch the full Space Shuttle stack with the Kanadarm
 
#Rendevouz with the satellite
 
#Use the Kanadarm to put it in the payload bay and return to the KSC
 
 
== Final Word ==
 
The Kerbals were very happy with what they had done. They had probed every object in the [[Kerbin]] system, and returned valuable data back. Kerbals have had training in repairing damaged craft. The next step would be to expand the [[Campaign:_Kerbal_Space_Station|Kerbal Space Station]].
