A Probe Control Point is a specific vessel which allows you to control a probe without any connection to the KSC. In order to use a vessel as such a control point, some requirements need to be fulfilled:

  • Command module capable to function as Probe Controle Point
  • At least 1 Pilot on board (depends on the Command module, see table below)
  • Relay Antenna


The following table lists all Command modules which can be used to build a Probe Control Point, the required number of Pilots on board and whether it is possible to use additional relay satellites to establish a connection with the probe (Multi-Hop) or just a direct connection can be used (Single-Hop):

Command module Required Pilot(s) Link Type
RC-001S Remote Guidance Unit 1 Single-Hop
RC-L01 Remote Guidance Unit 1 Multi-Hop
Mk1-3 Command Pod 2 Single-Hop
Mk2 Lander Can 2 Single-Hop
Munar Excursion Module (Making History) 2 Single-Hop

A connection will be automatically established as soon as the probe gets within range of the Probe Control Point.
