position satellite in a specific orbit of the sun


Recommended Posts

I just accepted a contract as per title. I assumed I would have found a coloured track on tracking stations corresponding to the required orbit (that is very specific in every detail, APO,PERI,INCLINATION and all) but there's not. 

I know quite the tricks and hints to place things in specific orbit on Kerbin and mun and planets but I have no idea how to try it without a reference. Actually I don't even know my sun-referenced orbital parameters unless placing a ship on sun-orbit (which is clearly too late). Even ejection moment and angle from Kerbin's orbit should be planned in detail...

Pre-plotted orbits for contracts can only be seen for the parent body you have currently focused. For example, if you are focused on Kerbin (the default tracking station view), you can only see pre-plotted orbits in Kerbin's SOI. If you change your focus to the Sun, you will be able to see pre-plotted solar orbits.

(When flying a vessel and being focused on that, it shows pre-plotted orbits inside the same SOI the vessel is currently in.)
