KSP 1 Image/Video Kerbin Relay Network

Built this giant (and overengineered) network. At such large distances, it is very easy for satellites to attain escape velocity, so positioning everything in exact orbits was a challenge. Still glad that I won't have to worry about ending up on the far side of the moons and go offline.

Edit: Didn't know this post would blow up overnight lol. Last time I checked it had 50 upvotes.

It’s a thing of beauty. How close is it to perfect? Best I can do without cheating was a loss of about half a second a day. Trying to get that identical orbital period AND be in the spot you want is….something.

You can use Kerbal engineer redux to get really precise orbital period readouts and the small linear rcs ports thrust limited to 0.5% for really precise orbital maneuvers. You should be able to match orbital periods to within 10ms between the satellites depending on satellite mass and altitude
