Say you have a satellite launcher SSTO. You achieve a decaying orbit and launch the satellite and have to pilot the satellite in order to get it to where it needs to be and stabilize it. Meanwhile, the SSTO continues on its course and crashes. Are there any mods or tricks to allow you to pilot both? Perhaps pausing the course of the SSTO while you deal with the satellite. Tried to find something like this but didn't find any and i'm not sure if its even possible.

Thank you in advance.

I don't know of a mod that does exactly what you describe, but if you would like to be able to be in control of your satellite and at the same time be able to save your craft from crashing by having it land on its own, i guess you could use Mechjeb. http://wiki.mechjeb.com/index.php?title=Manual

Other than that, i guess you'll have to wait for someone who knows more about KSP mods or turn to the official KSP forum.

I recommend this one here.

Flight Manager for Reuseablle Stages (FMRS)

I use it to bring my reusable rockets up in the orbit, deliver the payload ,land the rocket and finally switch back to the payload.

I also use with my SSTO Fleet. Works great.

Yeah, get FMRS. Although it not always works, its designed for atmospheric flights and you must use decoupler for it to create a forked save with ability to return.

KSP is designed with futurama mindset, where world rotates around current ship. For this reason, any ship that is not active will be unloaded past 2km range. Without FMRS, your best bet is to achieve flight outside of atmosphere while still in range of active vehicle.
