Laser Antenna Network - Linking Triton


After the first mission linking Earthlike to Mars with the LAN-13 satellites, the program moved on to my next working site: Triton. Considering my working PAM fleet in Earthlike, Mars and Europa, mining Gold and Platinum, it was a priority to have Triton linked to monitor the drones as Triton base develops.About to deploy the last LAN-17 satellite, so nothing like a step-by-step tutorial of the process.​The satellite building process begins with a Battery and Projector to seed the BP.​After that, half the work is done by the printing pad on Ptah's back.​https://i.redd.it/l39a9drmkww51.jpg​https://i.redd.it/ufmxygsokww51.jpg​After its main body is printed, the satellite is adjusted in position, using interpolated GPS points thanks to Google Sheets.​The solar panels' booms running Isy's Solar Alignment are then assembled manually for ship welding after.​Assembling the rotor structure.​And that's for both sides.​Some ship welding later!​Final step: setting up the Laser Antennas' targets...​...to a newly connected planet!For clarification, LAN-13 links fko-B1 Earthlike base to fko-B3 Mars base, which has a direct Laser Antenna to fko-B4 Europa.​So now I can manage the PAM fleet while building fko-B7 Triton!Plans already begun for the next mission in the LAN Program: LAN-35 satellites linking Mars to Alien planet, with some big refueling station.More screenshots in my Steam Profile with deeper step-by-step pictures.Thank you for coming to my TED talk!PS: reddit broke my images after I edited the post 😭 via /r/spaceengineers https://ift.tt/3oNoA7U
