#Any idea why my portable science isn't phoning home?

These little guys have sat here for ~30 days (at least) yet the "science transmitted" counter is still at 0. Am I misunderstanding how this should be reporting, or is there something wrong with my setup?

Solar panels were deployed with a level 2 engineer, so there's 3 units of power available, and the science stuff was deployed by a level 1 scientist.

You might need a relay

#

Did you use a scientist to deploy the goo and an engineer to deploy the rest?

I had a scientist deploy the goo and the control station; the panel was done with an engineer

Then it should work

#

But if it doesn't transmit whatsoever then you can use a kerbal to pick up the goo and save the science in a capsule or science container and then recover

I was looking at the control station stats --- I have a 0.95 comm signal strength, so I was thinking it should be doing stuff

#

I'll have a scientist go interact with it and see if there's anything else obviously wrong

I think there’s a deployable science part that’s like a communication dish

Oh wait i didn't even notice that

Yeah if you don't have an antenna it's not gonna transmit
