Is there any satellite out their where i don't have to have a rocket to launch? Just to watch it orbiting a planet (my version of fun)

one that unfolds its self or tells you how to unfold it!

I got boeing satellites but i don't know how to unfold them it doesn't tell me how to do that so does anyone have any helpfull satellite links they would be willing to share with me? :probe:

Every man-made satellite has to be placed into Orbit by a single or multiple rockets. If however you would like to just watch the vessel orbit Earth or something, you could start a scenario where the vessel is already in orbit.

Its in the manual;

How do they work?
All of these satellite work using the Vinka’s Spacecraft3 library:
L-Shift+1: All system deployment
Ctrl + +/-: Main Engine Control
J: Activate XIPS (focus on them and control them with Control + +/-)


When in doubt, read the manual.
