Landing Guidance by Mark7

1. Wait till the shuttle is on the opposite side of the KSC and its orbit is right passing over the KSC.

2. Do the re-entry burn. Make sure the final landing prediction 5400+_300km ahead from the target landing site.(The exact number is depending on the velocity of the shuttle when backing into atmosphere)

3. When re-entry, keep a 30-degree-AOA ,and roll left or right to adjust the trajectory.

4. Enjoy(or suffer haha)

Great! Glad to see its finished. Do you want me to do the launch guide too? If someone can give me a good way of making one I would be more than happy!

you would make a super happy modder if you could!

if you could give me the when and hows I can make a guide out of it.

or add text to this Space_shuttle_mission_profile.jpg for an easy to follow guide

Hmm I had bigger thoughts, I was thinking a much more fleshed out guide which showed shuttle stats (payload to LKO ect.) and how to dock, land, launch ect. I was also going to put in photos and diagrams ect. I'll start working on it now actually :P Anyone got the full shuttle stats?

We could of course have a quick start guide and a full in-depth guide!

I've got a sort of mechjeb guide. It gets the fuel tank to orbit however.

Launch, force roll 90°, gravity turn East starting at 1km or 100 m/s, ending at 35km on a 40.6% launch angle. Stage when necessary.

thats what worked for me in the vid

The End effector acts as a magnet. Move the effector to the object, turn on the magnet (right click effector and switch magnet on) and boom!

Its recommended to map the magnet switch to an action group.

If I get this arm to work, building the ISS will be a whole lot easier. Will try to use it tomorrow.
