Orbital Spy Satellite (vanilla)

This is the real deal. A satellite that will orbit a planet. How does it work, simple. The remote block is programmed to an autopilot gps waypoint at the center of the planet (can be found using SEToolbox). The thrusters are on rotors preventing the remote block from controlling them. So it keeps the satellite pointed at the center of the planet. With the side thrusters disabled it will drift in a straight line, the remote block keeps it pointed center, and the top and bottom thrusters prevent altitude changes. Thus it keeps an orbit.

For best result place the satellite in the .06g range. Then press the button next to the laser antenna. It will begin it's orbit. There is one script installed for logging the gps points; mapping the orbit. (script found on workshop)

This is just a proof of concept. Enjoy!
