If there's anything I've learned from Kerbal, the last 100 meters is the easy part - it's getting to the same place at the same time and at the same speed that's the trick. I can't count the number of times I've screamed past my space station at an extra 1000 m/s.
- Diederich 7y agoYup....though usually not at 1km/s (: I've been playing KSP for years, and did the manual rendezvous in orbit thing a number of times. It's pretty tricky. For my play style, Mechanical Jeb is the way to go. Let the computer do the heavy lifting.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoI prefer to use biological Jeb - which is why it's at 1 km/s. I really need to get a handle on the built in control and planning options.
- numpad0 7y agoThose NASA people put manned spacecrafts in an orbit that it goes around ISS few kilos forward, back, above and below such as if they’re orbiting the station in the radial in-out plane, so they could inspect tiles and admire the station a bit, then settle and start docking from a point at aft(Z bar) or below(R bar) the ISS. On emergencies they could punch Z and that’ll put the spacecraft cleanly away either back below or forward low then way up, you know how orbital mechanics does that. This little game is for the final approach after that flyaround. They don’t mess around going full throttle towards target retrograde manually at Intersect 1 from different inclinations like we do.
