0.15 added ability to send things to space and recieave something back, yet it seems noone used this functionality so far.
Can someone who actually knows how modding works make a simple mod that uses this functionality?
I want to play with helum-3 mining satelites, but as I know close to nothing about Factorio programming language and learn it by reading other people code I have nowhere to look for in this case.

In data.lua place this, If you send 1 iron ore in a rocket you'll get 10 atomic bombs.
If you send 1 copper ore in a rocket you'll get 1 satellite because that's the max stacksize.
If you send 1 satellite you still get the 1000 space science packs since this code doesn't change it, only adds things.
If you want to change what a satellite gives you need to loop through the result_items array to find the array where the satellite result is defined.
