Description

I have the mission to track 5 asteroids threatening to Kerbin via the Sentinel telescope. I have it in the requested orbit, started it running, but after years, it has found nothing. Question mark entities appear and disappear, but nothing is registered. I am in danger of failing the mission due to missing the deadline. I am running Kerbal Engineer and Precision Node as mods, with both DLCs installed.

Here is the work-around I found. This seems to happen when the orbit they want is not on the sun-side of the planet you are supposed to be scanning. Put one probe in the orbit they want you to have. Put a SECOND probe on an orbit anywhere on the sun-side of the planet, and make sure both probes have the asteroid tracker on and scanning. The sun-side probe will find the asteroids, but the other probe will satisfy the contract requirements.
