Version: 0.2.0
Date: 11. 06. 2026
Features:
- Added satellite-based orbital map uplink functionality.
- Launching a satellite now activates orbital map surveillance when the player's force has at least one ground radar on the launch surface.
- Added support for Space Age rocket cargo/orbit launch behaviour.
- Added persistent uplink activation after a successful satellite launch.
- Added map refresh behaviour for already-charted territory without revealing unexplored areas.
Compatibility:
- Restored the satellite item and recipe when Space Age is enabled and the satellite is otherwise unavailable.
- Preserved base-game satellite behaviour when Space Age is not enabled.

Graphics:
- Restored the original satellite icon instead of using the temporary radar icon.
Balancing:
- Set the satellite to a valid rocket payload weight (100kg) so it can be launched successfully.
- Kept the satellite stack size at 1 so each launch feels like a deliberate orbital payload.
Scripting:
