u/LucasW76 — reddlx

For all the people who just want to see the parts:

The rockets bp are in order from left to right top to bottom (all bp at the end)

Custom Part got renamed to Satellite Engines and Custom Part 1 (not listed) is just 1 half of those engines as when i opend the fairings i think it destroyed my satellite parts of the engine.

For the people who wants to know the story:

I recently got into Spaceflight Simulator (1 week and 40-50 hours of playing) and understood the basis of how everything works relatively well. This is my first ever finished satellite and I feel so proud of myself for accomplishing something this early in my space endevours. I made the satellite transformable (using my probes to help) so it has a "telecommunication mode" and trasportation mode for when I put this on the moon.

Im not going to lie at first I was just doing random stuff and the main cabin orginally was just something i put into high orbit just because and then ran with it. I sent some pieces indvisually and some in packs of two or four. My best (favorite) design is probably the Solar Panel+ Rocket as thats my first iteration of the dual nose rocket design and thought I was a lil clever for coming up with that myself. Maybe its ineffecient or stupid but it was a good solution at the time and had the assembly done in space similar to what they do irl. Please let me know what you guys of this!

If you guys have advice for me as a new player I'd be more than estatic as the most I've done so far is only go to The Moon and make a satellite. My next mission after sending this to the moon, is to either make a moon refuel base for mars or just go directly to mars. This satellite was definetly a learning expirence in terms of orbital mechanics, rendezvous', and other challenges that occured. One thing im never doing again is making satellites in high orbit. That was the biggest challenge I faced was due to amount of fuel i had so instead of making this at 600km, i will prolly go for 60km. There's definetly many other but this post is long so if you made it this far, thank you for looking at my satellite!
