Newton's Third Law


Recommended Posts

Unexpected failures turn out to be great fun sometimes.

I was trying to rotate the crew on my Kerbin Space Station, but a micrometeoroid (from Kessler Syndrome mod) destroyed my main engine before I could burn to match velocities.

I had enough monopropellant to match velocities using RCS thrusters, but that was it. Not content to simply send my crew on EVA to dock with the station (and miss out on completing a science contract due to instruments on my capsule), I tried to think of other ways I could dock. I still had a decoupler. I aligned the docking ports using reaction wheels, and decoupled. After a short wait, the command pod and station docked. Great success!
