The Satellite Dish is a small, low-tier Rust monument with roaming scientists that can drop green keycards, a green keycard area and an on-site recycler — an approachable early-wipe stop.

The Satellite Dish is a small, low-tier monument centred on a large radio antenna with a scattering of trailers and shipping containers. Roaming scientists patrol the area and can drop green keycards, making it a common first step in the keycard progression.
A green keycard area and an on-site recycler round it out, with military and normal crates plus barrels for components. Radiation is light, so it is approachable for freshly-spawned or lightly-geared players.
Because it is low-risk and an early source of green keycards, the Satellite Dish is often the first monument new players learn to clear. It is a reliable foothold for components and a foothold into the wider keycard loot loop.
Because every map here is a plain, unmodified Rust world, Satellite Dish spawns exactly where the game places it for a given seed and world size. Browse generated maps to see real monument layouts, or generate your own and check the monument list on the map page.
