How do I get more satellites?

I received one satellite from a resource pod, but it soon degraded and fell from the sky. Now I can't figure out how to replace it or get more. What do I need to do to get more satellites?

Best Answer

There are several technologies that will offer you more satellites. A few of them are:

Ecology gives you the Miasmic Repulsor, which does exactly what it says.
Orbital Networks gives you the Lasercom Satellite
Geoscaping has the Orbital Fabricator

And so on. You build them just like other units, and can launch them anywhere you have Orbital Coverage. They work sort of like limited area buffs, and will improve a certain aspect for a period of time.

Then there's the expense of maintaining and repairing satellites. Companies must pay for satellite bandwidth just like cell phone owners must pay to transmit voice and data.

Can I buy a space satellite?

To put it simply, if you have enough money you can buy a satellite straight off the shelf. The standard, for long, have been the CubeSats (small cubes that weigh just 1 kg), which came up around 1999. Since then, more than 100 of them have been launched by NASA alone - but primarily for schools and colleges.

Can a Sky dish pick up other satellites?

For a motorised satellite dish installation, a normal satellite dish is installed, usually a large one to help receive some of the weaker satellites onto a dish motor. The motor is then controlled via DiSEQC on the satellite receiver commands to switch between satellites and drive the motor to the correct position.

Can I own a satellite?

You can use your own personal satellite for a variety of reasons that include scientific observation, star tracking, pointing them at certain objects or star clusters in space, and Earth surveillance.
