/\//\S/\ Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 So I joined this forum out of boredness and to solve the issue of over shooting the mun and orbiting the Kerbol with a bigger radius than the Kerbin Orbit, I play on Xbox, I have played for a week on science mode with great progress on rockets, but not trajectory and science in general. And my rockets are out of fuel. Spoiler Spoiler ignore, I'm playing with buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex_NL Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Sounds like you got a gravity assist from Mun. You will not orbit Mun by simply entering its SOI. Sooner or later you need to slow down or you will escape the SOI. What you need is some nice juicy tutorials. Its a bit older and slightly outdated so ignore everything that as to do with atmospheric flight. Just focus on the Munar transfer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphaello Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Just leave the rocket floating there - it will make a nice rescue mission once you understand orbital mechanics better. If you have a Kerbal inside this rocket then he will be pretty happy to come back to KSC Sounds like you've created a mission for future you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
