To complete this station goal you'll need to build a ring of meteor defense satellites!

=== Steps to Complete ===

# To begin, you will probably want to grab a hardsuit from either EVA storage, or engineering department
# As with most other station goals, the supplies you will need are going to need can be ordered from cargo.
#* The satellite crate, which comes with 3 satellites can be ordered for 3K points
#* The satellite board crate, which comes with the required computer board can be ordered for 5K points.
# I would recommend starting out with the satellite crate as it is both cheaper, and requires some moving around.
# Inside the satellite crate you will find 3 meteor point defense satellites which can only be activated in space, and will act as the shield to protect the station.
# Take the satellites into space, and activate them around the station. Some recommended locations are:
#* Near the AI sat, to protect the AI
#* Near to armory, to protect from being open to space
#* Near SM, to make sure it doesn't delaminate
# Feel free to order more than one sat crate. You can have many satellites online at a time.
# Next, you will need to get the board crate which, contains the board
# In a secure space, such as your office or the brig, construct a machine frame, wrench it down, add the board, and screwdriver it. 
# ( It is worth noting that this is definitely the easiest station goal to get, you require nothing expect cargo points. )
# Finally, the console should be online, and you will be able to use your newfound point-defense satellites!

=== Benefits ===

* Fairly straightforward, you don't have to worry about meteors!
* The satellites destroy meteors with pinpoint precision at a high range, no matter the speed or size!
* They also generally reduce the chance of a meteor shower...
* ...unless they're [[emag|emagged]], which will instead significantly increase the chance of meteors!
