Actually if you launch the satellites remotely you can add more satellites to the same Sat group. (btw- this goes for mines and fighters too.)

Although the ability to remote mine with more than one satellite was supposed to be "changed" in v1.19, it doesnt appear to be changed after all.
Truth is As a tester I didnt like the change anyway and commented to Aaron on it.

I tend to agree that the remote mining components are a bit pointless if you cant use more than 1 satellite at a time to remote mine an asteroid or planet. But at the same time it is important to have the asteroid or planet run out of resources as you remote mine it. Especially for game balance- if you could stick lots of remote mining satellites in one sat group over an asteroid field or a very choice planet without consequences, such as the resource availability limit - then you could very easily abuse the system and put hundreds of remote miners around a single very nice asteroid field and any valuable planets you cant currently colonize and remote mine all your resources and never really have the need to build extraction facilities.
