Hi all. I'm planning a mission to Eve. Why does the ascent vehicle has to achieve orbit, when we could try to rescue them from Sub-orbit with a powerful orbiter? First things first, let's start on Kerbin and see what it takes to do a suborbital rescue: - Have a powerful rescue craft in Orbit of Kerbin - Launch a manned craft on a suborbital trajectory - Use the Orbiter to rendezvous with the craft, EVA the crew (better start with a crew of 1) over to the orbiter and get back to a stable orbit. The lower your apoapsis and the steeper the suborbital arc, the better. This is 100% safe, no risk at all, now sign this waver. Have fun and share your experiences with this task. 1st entry @FungusForge He actually went through the atmosphere, on an escape trajectory in order to get to his kerbal.
