We should also want a means to move the satellite after its been deployed and of course a probe core is required to control it.
We will need communications equipment, batteries to run them on, and solar panels to charge the batteries. Since we won’t be bringing along any kerbals, life support isn’t an issue. In this case, we want to go to Mun and deploy a communications satellite. The first step is to decide what you want to accomplish in your mission.
Our goal will be to place a communications satellite into equatorial orbit around Mun.
This includes multi-part missions to Mun, so we will be using a Mun trip as the example for this tutorial. While we’ve had some rockets fail due to design issues with the rocket itself during the ascent to orbit, none of our craft have failed to achieve their objectives once they have made it into space. This quick guide will help you plan and build rockets for missions you are looking to undertake, and follows the technique utilized by the KSA to plan all their missions.
