Mariner Satellite

Name	Mariner
Description	Demonstrator satellite serving as prototype for new satellites
Category	Example Templates
Language	Python

Description

This satellite does very little, it mostly serves as demonstrator for the different functionalities of satellites. New Python satellites for Constellation may be created by copying and modifying the Mariner satellite.
