Launch and Manage a Spy Satellite

Building the Satellite

Craft a satellite core and attach camera modules to it. Add solar panels or power cells so it remains operational in orbit. The satellite needs a transmitter to send data back to your base. Assemble these components into a complete satellite structure.

Launching into Orbit

Place your satellite on a launch pad and fuel the rocket with the appropriate propellant. Input your desired orbital parameters—altitude and inclination affect what areas the satellite can observe. Activate the launch sequence and watch it ascend into space.

Monitoring and Adjusting

Once in orbit, access the satellite's control GUI from your base receiver dish. Adjust the camera angle and zoom to scout terrain, locate resources, or watch your base. The satellite will gradually decay over time, so monitor its status and plan maintenance or replacement. Use the map data it sends back to plan mining operations or find new biomes for exploration.
