Interstellar KSP - Not getting science from IR Satellite
I have put the IR Satellite into orbit on my unmanned ship. But for some reason I'm not getting science.
- I have Helium Cryostats (3 with the dish connected directly on to them).
- I have power being supplied (although the item doesn't directly say that it needs it).
- I have activated the Deep scanner.
What am I doing wrong?
Theory:
Is it possible that the IR Telescope will only work while the player is 'in' the ship?

What is the easiest way to get science in KSP?
The primary way to get more science in the game is to use Kerbals to perform experiments and surveys, then send that data back to the space center (KSC).How do you find science data in KSP?
The SENTINEL Infrared Telescope is able to locate asteroids near a planet's orbit. In order to do so, it must be in a solar orbit (orbiting around the Sun), outside of the sphere of influence of any other body. When activated, it will begin to scan for and display asteroids that are in the next-widest planetary orbit.How do I use the infrared telescope in KSP?
Artificial satellites can be used for unmanned flights to test rocket designs, or to travel to other planetary bodies to collect scientific data. With the addition of the career mode and science mode, satellites are not available until later in the game due to the lack of command probes.Interstellar Beamed power explanation.. and why it's not so easy.
