Bring communications online by activating all six satellites.
As the rockets orbit Earth, click the Activate button the moment the rocket passes over the satellite location.
Once you have activated the first three satellites, bring communications online by activating the remaining three satellites.

French translation:à mesure que les fusées progressent sur leur orbite
Explanation:
Le "as" signifie qu'il faut cliquer "au fur et à mesure" de la progression des fusées et à chaque fois que l'une passe par la position d'un satellite.

Ce "as" n'est ni "while" ni "because".

Il faut cliquer sur le bouton quand la fusée arrive au dessus d'un point satellite. IL y a probablement six fusées pour six satellites.

neutral  Peter LEGUIE: Le verbe "orbiter" me dérange un peu: pourquoi ne pas dire "tournent autour de la Terre"?

neutral  Francis Marche: Ca peut paraître byzantin mais si vous utilisez le verbe "orbiter" il devient difficile de restiter le sens de "as they orbit" dans ce contexte.

agree  Attorney DC Bar: Yes, "quand" or "pendant que". "As" here just means "while", so, "while the rockets are orbiting the earth" -- a phrase that sets up what you are supposed to do: "click the activate button the moment the rocket passes over the satellite location".
