If transmitted, only 40% of the possible science points will be gained. The experiment must be returned to Kerbin to collect science. Like other scientific instruments, the SENTINEL Infrared Telescope can only carry one experiment at a time if the logged data is removed by a Kerbal on EVA or through an Experiment Storage Unit, the telescope can be used again. Scientific data can be gathered through the "Log Observation Data" option. It cannot gather observational data from Kerbol. The SENTINEL Infrared Telescope can only gather observational data from high space around the the celestial body (for example, to use it around Kerbin, its altitude must be 250K or higher).
Science experiment → Main article: Science#Modules Experiment There are contracts that ask the player to find asteroids with the SENTINEL telescope. The inclination, eccentricity, and longitude of ascending node also need to be close to matching the target planet. The Tracking Station must be upgraded to Level 3 to show asteroids.įor example, to scan for asteroids around the orbit of Kerbin, the SENTINEL must be placed in a solar orbit outside of the sphere of influence of Kerbin and at a lower semi-major axis (closer to the Sun) than Kerbin. Once asteroids are found, they can be selected in the Tracking Station to be tracked. The telescope will continue to run in the background, and will find asteroids over time.
When activated, it will begin to scan for and display asteroids that are in the next-widest planetary orbit. In order to do so, it must be in a solar orbit (orbiting around the Sun), outside of the sphere of influence of any other body.
The SENTINEL Infrared Telescope is able to locate asteroids near a planet's orbit. The Sentinel Space Telescope uses infrared light to detect celestial bodies, such as asteroids, that may pose a risk to Kerbin.
