I saw this picture and it got me thinking.

What if all the launched Satellites appear in ED?Some are still flying away out there out of range of Earth but possibly still collecting data.It would be cool if we could "find" these satellites and their Data in the game.

You can find them around inhabitat Earth-like worlds, near Military and Science Stations, next to Space Shipyard like in core system of Federation and Empire and many other places. If you scan them you get some data, some of them rare some of them common just like Private beacon in USS.

both voyager 1 and 2 are in the game, not sure about any other 20th century satellites, i'm personally looking forward to comets and other celestial bodies to be put in

You can also find crashed satellites on planetary bodies that have data to sell if you can evade the skimmers patrolling the area. If there are too many, just hide behind a hill and snipe them with your SRV's Plasma Repeater Turret. Skimmer's also have bounties of about 1000 Credits so there's more cash for you.

You need a permit to go to the Sol system. I don't know about the moon landing site, but that would be a must visit. Not even sure how or what is needed for the permit.

and the moon needs an currently unobtainable permit to land, additionally to the sol permit (which is rather easy to get).

voyagers are still on my to do list... after more than 2 years :)

You're slacking then goemon... Though to be fair, I've yet to get my mug from Hutton Orbital.

Thanks for the reply. That little will be a task in open space. I saw the YouTube video the CMDR that made the video had to reach out to the Fuel Rats while looking for it. That's one exciting adventure in Elite. I guess FD wants to dress up the moon with landmarks and a lot of detail before landings are made possible. Maybe they will in a future update, But if the do The traffic space jam may keep me away for some time. :S
