Description
The Atmo Industries Comm Sat is an in-atmo utility satellite which provides Laser Comm uplink points to compensate for the curvature of a planet. Standard operating altitude is around 5,000m but it is capable of holding a stable position up to high orbit.

With four Laser Antenna connection points, this Satellite design can be used to create a mesh laser comm network over an entire planet.

Features:
2x Large Atmospheric Thrusters provide primary lift with some Ion Thruster backups for high altitude
32x Solar Panels provide the necessary power for positional anchoring
4x Laser Antenna connection points, 1 to provide an uplink to a satellite network and 3 for ground communications
1x Passenger Seat for pilot control
1x Remote Control
2x Batteries

You should be able to place this higher in the atmosphere than the drones can reach. The Ion Thrusters are meant to help with that. The reason we left defenses out of this one was to reduce mass.

cool but highly vulnerable to pirate drones. may need to figure out how to work defenses into this.
