Solar panels retracted since last update in every vessel :: Kerbal

Can confirm; Kopernicus is what causes this as it applies a module to all solar panels allowing to track multiple light sources, this has the unwanted side effect of re-folding them. Can be easily

[Tutorial] Circular station building

now then how to get it to spin... Either disable SAS and use the reaction wheels to spool it up or use Infernal Robotics. In both scenarios it will stop spinning when you

Solar Panel Effectiveness

As the table above shows, solar panels are only half as powerful at Duna as they are at Kerbin, and only 10% as powerful at Dres. From Jool to Eeloo, you need a

How to fix solar panels?

While repairable landing legs, repairable wheels, and repackable parachutes have been in the game for a little while, solar panels have never been fixable. I don''t know if

Why does my rocket keeps spinning ? : r/KerbalAcademy
