The final parts to add to the satellite will be to install a decoupler or separator at the base along with a faring module below that.However, the farther away from Kerbin the satellite orbits, the stronger (and typically larger) antenna the satellite will require. If the satellite is in orbit close to Kerbin, then a Communotron 16 or two will be ample to transmit data to the ground control.

The final touches should include an antenna. To add variety to the satellite, consider adding a thermal control system and/or scientific equipment to conduct testing while in orbit. If all the power drains from the batteries, the satellite will not be able to move or communicate. While an engine can provide limited power, it is best to outfit solar panels to also aid in replenishing power to the batteries when the satellite is on the sunward side of a planet. There are multiple types of batteries with different storage capacities, ensure you add enough to meet the needs of the equipment on the satellite. Next, to power the satellite, add batteries.If the probe body does not include a reaction wheel, go ahead and add one. It is important to verify the probe body includes a reaction wheel as you will need one if you want to move the satellite. Just about any probe body will work, however, if possible, the Probodobodyne HECS is a good first choice.

The first step is to build a satellite.

Steps Step 1 - Building a satellite Starting from the ground up!

Difficulty: Easy (Requires basic knowledge of orbital mechanics).

2.2 Step 2 - Launching the satellite into orbitĪre you new to Kerbal Space Program and don't know where to start? Do your rockets tumble, flip, or generally disintegrate before reaching orbit? Do you want to launch a permanent and sustainable satellite? Do you want to practice the basics of deploying payloads into orbit? If so, then this tutorial is for you!.
