To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hi Guys,
After over a year of doing cargo transport missions, I finally saved up and bought a shiny XKR-1750 orbital scanner. I took a mission, entered a low orbit around the planet and, using the scan manager, began to scan. The scan manager says that data is currently being collected for this scan, but progress remains at 0.0% even after days of scanning. What am I doing wrong?
Sounds strange. Double check you're on the right planet in the right sector (x,y,z coordinates), and that you're using an orbit scanner for orbit misison and surface scanner for surface mission. Those are the "obvious" things people can get wrong.

Yes, the planet and scan type (orbital) are correct.
Do you have a screenshot showing the Comms messages and the scanner box when your scanning?
OK, it seems I am dumb and have now worked out the issue. I was below the minimum altitude. Sorry!
But while I'm here, let me say great job on Pioneer! It's progressed so much since the last time I played.
Glad to hear it worked out.
Thanks for the kind words, it is what funds the further development of the project 😉
